In addition to the consequences highlighted in the foregoing, one other major risk to a company is the disruption and damage to its reputation which may arise from lengthy investigations or subsequent litigation from customers, competitors and consumers. Noncompliance with the Regulations, therefore, becomes a serious governance issue which may put off would-be investors in the company and even lead to the exit of current shareholders.<br>Cognizant of the severe consequences of non-compliance with the Regulations, businesses should regularly review or inquire whether the company\u2019s business practices and agreements comply with the Regulations. It is important, therefore, to promote an understanding amongst employees as to what type of behaviour is and is not permissible under competition law.<br><br>One practical way to promote an understanding of competition law amongst employees is for a company to devise and actively implement a competition compliance policy that is specifically tailored to that company. Not only does this minimise the risk of being non-compliant in the first place, but if a company is investigated for anti-competitive behaviour, evidence of a competition compliance policy may be taken into account by the Commission in determining the fine.<br>\n<\/div><div class=\"oxy-rich-text-272-108 oxy-rich-text\">\n<p><strong><em>If you know of any anti-competitive agreement, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/comesacompetition.org\/file-a-competition-complaint\/\">file a complaint<\/a>\u00a0with COMESA Competition Commission.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anti-Competitive Business Practices and Conduct Overview Prohibitions Abuse of Dominance Exemptions and Exclusions Consequences Request for Authorization What can I do?
