Event Synopsis:

As Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations on several industries continue to ascend, regulators are likely to subject Private Equity (PE) firms to heightened scrutiny. This is to ensure that they are properly disclosing fees to their investors given the fact that they usually employ middlemen in raising money from state-owned investment funds. By establishing effective compliance procedures and thorough anti-corruption due diligence, PE firms can operate efficiently amidst serious probing. However, PE fund advisers must be aware first of the FCPA risks and liabilities to avoid severe penalties and investigation costs.

In this two-hour live webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders will help firms understand the important aspects of this significant topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion of FCPA Risks and Threats in Global Private Equity Ventures. Speakers will also share helpful insights in handling critical issues and current trends. Best risk mitigation and FCPA compliance practices will be also discussed in this CLE course.

Key topics include:
· Foreign Corrupt Practices Act - An Overview
· Major FCPA Considerations
· FCPA Risks and Threats
· Possible Implications on PE Firms and their Portfolio Companies
· Risk Assessment and Monitoring
· Successor and Post-Acquisition Liabilities
· Common FCPA Violations
· Legal Consequences
· Critical Issues and Current Trends
· Risk Mitigation Techniques
· Best Compliance Practices
