Due to the alarming uptick in the number of illegal transactions between US companies and foreign entities and individuals, officials have begun to step up investigatory and enforcement activity. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) was enacted long ago to eradicate bribery and bring back confidence in US companies doing business abroad. Criminal activity, however, continues to evolve in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago. Recent developments have underscored the need for companies to be vigilant with respect to developing and executing their compliance programs. This Knowledge Group live webcast will help you become more aware of the most critical issues including: how to spot & avoid criminal activity, how to conduct necessary risk assessments, how to strengthen internal controls to identify risks and fraud, and how to most effectively communicate with foreign government authorities.

What have been the trends lately in FCPA enforcement? What are the changes that must be done with your company's compliance strategies and risk-management processes? The answers to these questions and more can be discovered and learned in The Knowledge Congress' "Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in 2010" LIVE Webcast. Register by clicking the button below.
