RCMP Anti-Corruption Outreach Coordinator Delivers Training Session at Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada Mining Conference
======================================================
The annual Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada mining conference was held in June 2022, featuring a training session by the RCMP anti-corruption outreach coordinator. The session focused on the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (CFPOA), the importance of reporting through proper channels, and the Remediation Agreement (RA) Regime.
Training and Outreach Efforts
In addition to the training session at the mining conference, the RCMP anti-corruption outreach coordinator has been working closely with Transport Canada (TC) to prepare for the event. This collaboration aims to ensure a standard approach to reporting and addressing corruption cases involving Canadian companies operating abroad.
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) has also taken steps to enhance its training and outreach efforts, providing presentations to regional directors and designated contacts in each office. These efforts aim to increase awareness of the OECD Convention, the CFPOA, and ongoing anti-corruption activities by the RCMP and PPSC.
