The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) continues to be one of the focal points of the Securities Exchange Commission’s and the Department of Justice’s enforcement program. Enforcement actions, civil and criminal, are continuing at pace and the cost of resolving FCPA actions is getting more onerous. At the same time, the U.K. Bribery Act and other foreign anti-corruption laws are gaining in prominence. Multinational companies increasingly face bribery risks in their international business activities. Such risks can, however, be detected and managed. The experienced faculty of private practitioners, current and former regulators and prosecutors will provide an in-depth analysis of the FCPA’s current trends and implications. The faculty will discuss timely and important information on the latest enforcement trends, international developments, compliance best practices, risk assessment and mitigation.
Topics covered will include:
- The Pilot Program
- DOJ and SEC Guidance
- What the Och-Ziff settlement portends for Wall Street and beyond
- The Princeling Cases
- Year in Review: Analysis of recent trials, settlements and lessons learned
- Judicial Review: A review of judicial opinions concerning the FCPA
- Trends in international cooperation in light of Odebrecht, Braskem, and VimpelCom
- Overcoming cultural and legal challenges in rolling out a compliance culture
- Weighing the pros and cons of voluntary disclosure
- Conducting internal investigation and compliance reviews in challenging countries
