Coalition Against Corruption Bangkok Thailand

In his new role as Secretary General to the Collective Action Coalition of the Thai Private Sector Against Corruption, Dr Bandid (former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Thailand) will be discussing ways the Coalition is working towards a corruption-free business environment in Thailand. This body aims to commit companies operating in Thailand by having them sign up, train in anti-corruption policies and compliance at a company level, then spread the word to other companies.

Invoice: BCCT will add a 10% surcharge to any invoices that BCCT is required to raise after an event. Event attendees should either pay in advance or on the door.

No- show policy: There are many events (eg luncheons and breakfast briefings) that require BCCT to give guaranteed numbers of attendees to the venue. If those who have booked fail to attend, the venue invariably still charges the BCCT. As a result, BCCT’s policy in these situations is to invoice no-shows (unless there are exceptional circumstances).
