At Vouga Abogados, we understand the importance of having and promoting a culture of compliance within the corporate structure. We have therefore formed a highly qualified team to help companies implement programs and controls that allow them to carry out business practices with the highest ethical standards in Paraguay. Focused on effective collaboration between the executive management, human resources, internal controls and audit, we manage to prevent situations that may place the company at risk because of criminal or administrative business offences, through the implementation of compliance programs, training, audits and internal investigations.
Our team is qualified to provide support and advice in:

• Drafting and implementation of codes of conduct and compliance programs to comply with national and foreign law standards, such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK 2010 Bribery Act, the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions and national anti-bribery regulations.
• Staff training on compliance standards.
• Administrative summary procedures.
• Audits focused on environmental, labor and reputational risks.
• Anti-corruption risk assessment.
• Internal ethics and compliance investigations.
  In line with our values, Vouga Abogados implemented in August 2018 its own Code of Ethics and Conduct (CEC), evidence of our strong conviction that ethics and professional excellence are inseparable from each other.
