MEET SANAM - The Visionary Peace Strategist Here's what to expect in our conversation: A Firsthand Account of Conflict and Resilience At just 15, Sanam's life was irrevocably altered by the Iranian Revolution, forcing her to flee her homeland. This formative experience ignited a lifelong passion for conflict resolution and peace-building. Witnessing the devastating impact of global conflicts firsthand, she dedicated her career to fostering understanding and reconciliation. The Indispensable Role of Women in Peace-Building Sanam highlights the often-overlooked yet critical role women play in peace-building efforts at the community level. Equipped with skills like mediation and relationship-building, women frequently serve as the backbone of peace processes. She underscores the imperative of amplifying women's voices and integrating their perspectives into peace-building initiatives. Inspiring the Next Generation of Peacemakers To ensure the continuity of peace-building efforts, Sanam advocates for empowering younger generations. By providing training, mentorship, and platforms for engagement, we can cultivate a new generation of dedicated peacemakers. Personal Sacrifice and Self-Reflection Sanam candidly discusses the personal sacrifices inherent in her career, including missed family events and social opportunities. She emphasises the importance of self-reflection and self-care in maintaining balance and resilience. A Vision for a Peaceful World Sanam envisions a world where violence is not a default response, but rather a conscious choice. She calls for a cultural shift that prioritises dialogue, compromise, and the courage to engage in peaceful conflict resolution. Empowering Women Leaders For young women aspiring to lead and effect change, Sanam offers invaluable advice. She encourages boldness, trust in intuition, and a focus on storytelling and human connection to drive impact. Building a supportive community is essential to navigate challenges and sustain momentum. Another Extraordinary PASSIONISTA! Want to be involved with ICAN events and publications or support Sanam?

In 2022, Jina Mahsa Amini died in police custody after having been arrested because her headscarf was too loose. A wave of protest began in Iran - the protest cry echoed through the cities: ‘Zan, zendegi, azadi.' ‘Woman, life, freedom.' Although the protests might have quieted down in the media, the precarious situation has not changed. What is the current situation in Iran, especially for women? Is there any hope for the people seeking freedom in Iran? And how does the Western world view the protests? Iranian-born Sanam Naraghi Anderlini answers these and other questions. She is founder and CEO of the International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN). Through ICAN she spearheads the Women's Alliance for Security Leadership (WASL) comprising independent women-led organizations active in 40 countries globally, preventing violence and promoting peace, rights and pluralism.

Gianpaolo Anderlini"Quindici gradini"Commento ai Salmi 120-134EDB Edizioni Dehoniane Bolognawww.dehoniane.itDal Salmo 120 al 134 viene richiamato all'attenzione dell'orante un costante movimento di salita: si sale al santuario di Gerusalemme in occasione di feste liturgiche, in particolari momenti della propria vita, al ritorno dall'esilio. Si sale dal basso della condizione che nasce dal peccato per elevarsi al bene, al cielo e a Dio; si sale in questo mondo e nel mondo a venire. Si sale da ciò che ha meno valore a ciò che ha un valore maggiore e salire è sempre una elevazione: fisica, sociale, morale, mistica. I salmi dei gradini, che qui vengono presentati e commentati, dovevano essere recitati idealmente all'ingresso del tempio di Gerusalemme, al termine del pellegrinaggio annuale, pellegrinaggio che diventa simbolo di ogni cammino. Il microcosmo svelato da questi cantici ci mostra la verità della condizione umana: in questo mondo, sottoposto alle leggi del tempo, della morte e del libero arbitrio, all'uomo che intende seguire la via tracciata da Dio è consentito salire solo, qualora ne sia capace, fino al quindicesimo gradino. Solo la via della visione mistica permette un viaggio in un altrove infinito, indefinito e non ancora conosciuto.Gianpaolo Anderlini si occupa da oltre quarant'anni di poesia e di studi sull'ebraismo. Segue e coordina, inoltre, le attività di alcune scuole di lingua e cultura ebraica. Ha pubblicato, tra gli altri, Tu mi hai rapito il cuore.

This time talking to the great Sanam Naraghi-Anderlini, consultant to the United Nations on the subject of women and conflict and co-founder and executive director of the International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN.) She is also an author specializing in gender, equality and non-violence. As a field researcher and activist, she has worked extensively with the United Nations training governments and NGOs worldwide in peacemaking. First, we spoke about the upcoming elections in the US and the valuable importance of electoral law and democracy. But above all, we talked about the need for more women in foreign policy and in peace processes. Every day, women around the world are leading movements to create enduring, peaceful societies. It's time to recognize the invaluable but often overlooked role that women play in ending and preventing conflict. Sanam Anderlini offers a comprehensive, cross-regional analysis of women's peacebuilding initiatives around the world and highlights the endemic problems that stunt progress. She demonstrates how gender sensitivity in programming can be a key component in the complex task of building sustainable peace and provides specific examples of how to draw on women's untapped potential. Sanam Naraghi-Anderlini helped draft the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS). In view of the 20th anniversary of the seminal Resolution, it was an honor to speak with Sanam as one of its main initiators and monitors. The resolution, adopted on October 31, 2000, represented the first time that the Security Council had addressed the disproportionate and unique impact of armed conflict on women and girls. The resolution also recognized the critical role women can, and do, play in peacebuilding.

FCPA Compliance Report
Day 10 of One Month to More Effective Internal Controls

FCPA Compliance Report

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 18, 2017 11:24


   Today I want to look at internal controls for third parties. One of the questions that GSK faced during the bribery and corruption investigation of its Chinese operations is how an allegedly massive bribery and corruption scheme occurred? The dollars paid out went upwards of $500MM, which coincidentally was the amount of the fine levied by the Chinese court on GSK. It is not as if the Chinese medical market is not well known for its propensity towards corruption, as prosecutions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) are littered with the names of US companies which came to corruption grief in China. GSK itself seemed to be aware of the corruption risks in China. In a Reuters article, entitled “How GlaxoSmithKline missed red flags in China”, Ben Hirschler reported that the company had “more compliance officers in China than in any country bar the United States”. Further, the company conducted “up to 20 internal audits in China a year, including an extensive 4-month probe earlier in 2013.” GSK even had PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as its outside auditor in China. Nevertheless, he noted, “GSK bosses were blindsided by police allegations of massive corruption involving travel agencies used to funnel bribes to doctors and officials.” Where were the appropriate internal controls? You might think that a company as large as GSK and one that had gone through the ringer of a prior Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation resulting in charges for off-label marketing and an attendant Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) might have such controls in place. It was not as if the types of bribery schemes in China were not well known. In an article in the Financial Times (FT), entitled “Bribery built into the fabric of Chinese healthcare system”, reporters Jamil Anderlini and Tom Mitchell wrote about the ‘nuts and bolts’ of how bribery occurs in the health care industry in China. The authors quoted Shaun Rein, a Shanghai-based consultant and author of “The End of Cheap China”, for the following “This is a systemic problem and foreign pharmaceutical companies are in a conundrum. If they want to grow in China they must give bribes. It’s not a choice because officials in health ministry, hospital administrators and doctors demand it.” Their article discussed the two primary methods of paying bribes in China: the direct incentives and indirect incentives method. Anderlini and Mitchell reported, “The 2012 annual reports of half a dozen listed Chinese pharmaceutical companies reveal the companies paid out enormous sums in “sales expenses”, including travel costs and fees for sales meetings, marketing “business development” and “other expenses”. Most of the largest expenses were “travel costs or meeting fees and the expenses of the companies’ sales teams were, in every case, several multiples of the net profits each company earned last year.”” It would be reasonable to expect that internal controls over gifts would be designed to ensure that all gifts satisfy the required criteria, as defined and interpreted in Company policies. It should fall to a Compliance Officer to finalize and approve a definition of permissible and non-permissible gifts, travel and entertainment and internal controls will follow from such definition or criteria set by the company. These criteria would include the amount of the spend, localized down into increased risk such the higher risk recognized in China. Within this context, there are four general internal controls to consider. (1) Is the correct level of person approving the payment / reimbursement? (2) Are there specific controls (and signoffs) that the gift had proper business purpose? (3) Are the controls regarding gifts sufficiently preventative, rather than relying on detect controls? (4) If controls are not followed, is that failure detected? Below are 10 specific inquires you can make regarding your compliance internal controls specific to third parties. 1: Prior to entering the relationship, did management: confirm alignment with business strategy; analyze strategic risk; perform risk/reward analysis; and review its ability to provide adequate oversight and management on an ongoing basis? 2: Can the third-party’s activities be viewed as predatory, discriminatory or abusive? 3: Does your compliance regime include: policies and procedures to help manage third-party relationships; proper internal controls; training; monitoring; and auditing procedures to ensure consistent and ongoing compliance? 4: Was adequate due diligence conducted that included a review of all available information about the third-party (e.g. financial condition, reputation, knowledge of laws, complaints, operations and controls, internal controls and marketing materials? 5: Are expectations and obligations of both the company and the third-party outlined in a written contract prior to entering the relationship? 6: Does the board of director’s review and approve any material third-party relationships? 7: Does the contract outline fees to be paid, management information reports, audit rights, limit use of consumer information, exclusivity language, complaint management process, specifies circumstances that constitute default, dispute resolution process, and provides indemnification provisions? 8: Did the board initially approve the third-party relationship and does it review each significant third-party relationship on at least an annual basis? 9: Is there a process to verify the third-party’s operations are consistent with the written agreement and that risks are being controlled? 10: Does management allocate sufficient qualified staff to monitor significant third-party relationships and provide necessary oversight (and are these activities reported to the board of directors or designated committee)? What is the frequency of exceptions and how are they analyzed/documented/reported to management? When applicable, are you comparing and analyzing the third-party’s sales patterns? Obviously, the use of third-parties can be a powerful and effective way for a business to achieve its strategic goals. This may be one of the key reasons why third-parties are still one of the leading indicia of bribery and corruption. Every compliance program should regularly review its third-party service providers and evaluate internal policies and procedures to ensure compliance. Three Key Takeaways GSK in China continues to be an example of the lack of internal controls for an effective compliance program. General areas of review for compliance internal controls. Third parties are still the highest risk of corruption related issues.
