Attorney Liao was recently invited to provide the company’s 2026 annual compliance training, focusing on core subjects such as anti‑bribery regulations, competition law, conflict‑of‑interest governance, and sexual harassment prevention. The program aims to strengthen compliance capabilities within the highly regulated global shipping and logistics sector, reduce cross‑border operational risks, and enhance the organization’s overall governance maturity.
In the anti‑bribery module, Attorney Liao drew on international regulations—such as the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act—and common risk scenarios in the shipping industry to explain bribery risks that may arise in port operations, customs procedures, agent relationships, and third‑party management. She also provided concrete preventive mechanisms and internal control recommendations.
The competition law section focused on market collaboration, exchange of pricing information, concerted practices, and other high‑risk behaviors. Through scenario‑based case studies, the training helped managers identify conduct that may constitute monopolistic practices or unfair competition.
For conflict‑of‑interest management, Attorney Liao used examples of typical internal and external interest entanglements faced by multinational enterprises to illustrate how to establish disclosure systems, avoid biased decision‑making, and maintain transparent and consistent governance standards across multi‑jurisdictional operations.
The sexual harassment prevention module incorporated recent regulatory updates and addressed the protective measures, reporting channels, and investigation procedures that companies should adopt in global workforce arrangements, crew management, and cross‑cultural teams to ensure workplace safety and respect.
Attorney Liao has long supported multinational shipping companies in developing compliance training programs. This reflects the strong emphasis multinational enterprises place on Taiwan’s regulatory standards and corporate ethics, and further affirms Attorney Liao’s professional depth in international compliance, labor law, and corporate governance.
