PART/02 Opening Remarks

At the specific business level, lawyers can handle issues such as embezzlement and non-public bribery in internal anti-fraud efforts, helping enterprises fix evidence, conduct negotiations and handle them in a classified manner. In terms of external anti-fraud measures, it is necessary to assist enterprises in crisis public relations and help distinguish between individual actions and the will of the organization.

Lawyer Wang Guan, the vice president of Dehe Criminal Case Research Institute, delved deeply into the market positioning of anti-fraud and compliance services for enterprises.
