With the increasing globalization of US business, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act continues to be the foundation for how companies must transact international business. While the United States has had the FCPA in place since 1977, the international community has joined together and has begun focusing their attention on anti-bribery issues. This session intends to provide an overview of the FCPA, a look into what the international community is doing to further improve international business and will provide attendees with a list of hot topics and a game plan on how to address them.

What are the latest trends and events in anti-corruption enforcement? As in-house counsel practicing globally you need to know. This session addressed the current state of the anti-corruption and bribery laws applying to the international activities of US companies including the application of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and non-US laws such as those of the 37 countries who are signatories or concurring countries to the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation (OECD) and certain United Nation treaties.

Presented at ACCA/GCCA European chapter 2002 Annual Meeting. Presented as part of the program "The OECD Anti-Bribery Convention."

Learn how US companies can mitigate FCPA and other risks -- including the safety of your employees -- in frontier markets, and what unique challenges you will face in conducting investigations there. Focus on issues of employment, privacy and other laws in countries with immature legal systems, security considerations and political interference. This part of the presentation focused on Asia.

This session’s panel will provide practical approaches on how to respond to compliance problems and effectively communicate compliance threats to management.

It is an increasingly global age where more companies are doing business overseas, and a greater number of foreign companies are SEC registrants. As a result, in-house counsel must face the challenge of addressing Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) compliance responsibilities. This program addressed the issues of setting up a practical and effective program, recognizing and addressing relevant issues, and current activities and determinations in the FCPA arena.
