The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) is at the top of most companies’ key risk areas. DOJ and SEC resources devoted to investigating violations and enforcing the law remain at an all-time high. Recent FCPA and bribery enforcement actions demonstrate that no industry is immune from scrutiny. Beyond the FCPA, an increasing number of countries, as well as international organizations, are ramping up anti-corruption enforcement and adding to the complexity of legal compliance. This program, taught by a faculty of leading practitioners, in-house counsel, and government officials, will give you the background and tools you need to spot the issues early, develop workable risk management processes, plan internal investigations, and implement effective compliance programs.
