A statement from GACO And ENFCO follows below:

The Gibraltar Association of Compliance Officers (GACO), in collaboration with the European Network for Compliance Officers (ENFCO), today announced a crucial half-day conference focused on tackling the  subtle, systemic roots of corporate corruption. 

The event, titled “Beyond the Checklist: Disrupting the Normalisation of  Corruption in European Compliance,” will take place on November 20, 2025, at  the Sunborn Yacht Hotel in Gibraltar. It is designed for senior Compliance Officers,  MLROs, and Risk Management Professionals across Europe seeking practical,  implementable strategies to enhance integrity within their organizations. 

The Conference will focus on everyday risks in corporate life, those invisible cases  where corruption and bribery can quietly go unnoticed if not actively confronted. 

The conference will be officially opened by The Hon Nigel Feetham KC MP, Minister  for Justice, Trade, and Industry. 

“Gibraltar’s strength as an international financial centre is grounded in our firm  commitment to high standards of compliance,” stated The Hon Nigel Feetham KC  MP. “Events such as this, co-hosted by GACO and ENFCO, play an important role in  reinforcing that commitment. They equip professionals not only to meet regulatory  expectations, but to contribute to a culture that promotes sound judgement,  transparency, and good governance across the sector. This proactive focus is  essential to maintaining confidence and competitiveness in an evolving global  environment.” 

The comprehensive program features three world-class experts: 

∙ Dr. José Hernandez: Who will tackle the Systemic & Governance Angle,  exposing how cultural decay and governance blind spots lead to systemic  leakage. 

∙ Ben Lyttleton: Who will focus on the Behavioural & Team Culture Angle,  offering tools to combat groupthink and foster a high-integrity "upstander"  culture. 

∙ Antonio Baquero: An investigative editor who will share the Investigative &  Transactional Angle, teaching delegates how to identify "New Generation  Red Flags" in complex cross-border schemes.

The half-day event will conclude with the official launch of the GACO/ENFCO White  Book on European Bribery and Corruption Inquiries, a practical resource for  compliance professionals.
