The Commercial Approach to Anti-Corruption mit ICC Austria Senior Director Dr. Maximilian Burger-Scheidlin
Should you be experiencing a certain hesitance in signing a contract, do allow us to give it a good, hard look before mistakes and losses are made.
We can offer you advice in the following areas:
The International Chamber of Commerce has taken to heart its mission of supporting and lobbying for the growth of international trade and the spread of globalisation as a matter of course. However, with the expansion and consolidation of globalisation and its plethora of benefits, commercial crime has reared its ugly head and thrived. In battling this surge, the ICC has erected a series of structures and organisations on a global scale, foremost among these, the ICC Commercial Crime Services (CCS) headquartered in London, which works in co-operation with Interpol to fight white-collar crime.
The CCS relies on three independent, specialised divisions:
ICC Financial Investigation Bureau
primarily concerned with fraud in investment, the financing of credit, import-export, etc.
ICC Counterfeiting Intelligence Bureau
specifically dealing with counterfeit goods and measures to curb their emergence
ICC International Maritime Bureau
concerning fraud in shipping, in the port, and maritime piracy
Should you have already experienced an abuse in the way of commercial crime, we could certainly be of great use, however we urge you as a matter of great importance to inform the appropriate government authorities, eg. financial police, as well as your lawyer.
