Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") enforcement actions continue to be high priorities for the US Department of Justice ("DOJ") and US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Recent settlements emphasize the ongoing need for comprehensive and effective anti-corruption compliance programs, particularly relating to the retention and monitoring of third party agents, proper documentation of expenses and claims, and interacting with government officials. This session will provide critical insight regarding:
- Tools and best practices for preventing and identifying FCPA risks and potential violations of law;
- Practical steps for minimizing third party agent risk;
- Lessons learned from recent FCPA enforcement actions; and
- How to respond when a potential FCPA violation is discovered.
