Behavior Across Cultures and Jurisdictions", and Diane Francis,

TORONTO, Feb. 6, 2014 /CNW/ - At a time when the global economy is
becoming increasingly regulated and complex, two international thought
leaders are converging today in Toronto to discuss the complex nature
of integrity and business. Frank Holder, Chairman of the Latin America region for FTI Consulting (NYSE: FCN),
and author of Integrity in Business: Developing Ethical Behavior Across Cultures and
Jurisdictions, will join Diane Francis, Editor-at-Large at The National Post in a discussion on how companies can navigate this new landscape at The
Trump Hotel in Toronto. FTI Consulting, Inc. is the global business
advisory firm dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance
their enterprise value.
"Businesses today are operating in an environment that makes adhering to
ethical practices more important than ever," said Mr. Holder. "The
nature of integrity and business can be frustratingly oxymoronic,
leaving companies uncertain as to how to protect their reputations and
market value. In examining regulatory changes over the last ten years,
I hope to have provided executives and leaders with the opportunity to
thoughtfully evaluate the integrity practices at their organizations
and take proactive steps to limiting risks and liabilities in this
area."
Mr. Holder's book is a salient guide to business integrity when
navigating the increasingly regulated and complex global economy.
Offering an in-depth analysis of the relationship between growing
regulations and monitoring and integrity in business, Mr. Holder takes
a comprehensive look at the relationship between business practices and
the regulatory environments in developed and developing economies. He
answers questions like: what critical issues will developed economies
encounter while experiencing regulatory changes? Do developing
economies experience issues in adjusting to new global standards and
how might these affect the local customs?
Added Nicholas Remillard, President and CEO, International Economic
Forum for the Americas: "For the last 20 years, The International
Economic Forum of the Americas has promoted the role of the Americas in
major decisions and reforms related to the current global economic
context. During this time, we have seen firsthand the role that sound
ethical practices can play in facilitating international business
opportunities, while protecting the reputations and market value of
both parties involved. This discussion with Mr. Holder is incredibly
timely and we are looking forward to him sharing his insights with
Toronto's executive community."
