Review of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
 |
William Wise |
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) is a high priority for law enforcement both in the U.S. and around the world. Fines have increased to unprecedented levels. Companies who engage in business with foreign governments and interact with their local officials must be very sensitive to all elements of their commercial transactions; customers, agents, consultants, record keeping requirements, etc. In our brief hour we will review the basics of the FCPA and discuss the value of urging appropriate clients to institute effective anti-corruption compliance program to meet the challenges of the FCPA. Panelists: Robert Keefe, WilmerHale and Chris Barry, Forensic Services Practice, PWC. Moderator: William Wise, Holland & Knight LLP. |
