Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ’08: Preventing & Enforcing Anti-Corruption Through Effective Multinational Compliance Programs – San Francisco

Why Should I Attend?
In 2007, the FCPA celebrated its 30th anniversary with largest fines, highest number of punishment of individuals, increased international enforcement and cooperation, industry-sweep investigations, and investigations arising from transactional activity. Not only has the number of FCPA cases filed by the DOJ and the SEC continued to increase, other countries are rapidly increase their investigation and prosecution of corrupt payments as well. Countries such as China have announced a national campaign against commercial bribery, and Germany is investigating allegations that the country’s largest companies made corrupt payments to government officials.

Now more than ever with the increase of FCPA enforcement and foreign prosecution, the demand for companies doing business around the world to establish business practices that will detect and prevent corrupt payments to avoid potentially devastating enforcement actions is higher than any other time in history.
