The Department of Justice is involved throughout the globe in both helping countries to adapt to the new laws and concepts and with enforcement activities. China is just the beginning.
The Knowledge Congress has assembled a team of key regulators and distinguished experts to help professionals and anyone involved in FCPA compliance understand its impact on the market. The experts will present their findings, which include a "best practice" panel at a comprehensive two-and-a-half hour live teleconference. This teleconference will be accompanied by a webinar.
