Event Synopsis:
On November 29, 2017, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a new Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Corporate Enforcement Policy. The revised policy is intended to improve and make permanent the FCPA 2016 Pilot Program that aims to boost voluntary disclosures of possible FCPA violations by providing companies with a level of certainty about the results of such disclosures. Recent developments in the policy include declination presumption, root cause analysis demonstration, and document retention policy requirement.
As companies continue to monitor the policy’s implementation, they should also start evaluating their FCPA compliance programs and ensure their efficiency. Best compliance program practices should be followed, and compliance training should be undertaken continuously.
In this live webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders will help companies understand the critical elements of this significant topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion of the revised Corporate Enforcement Policy. Speakers will also offer best practices in developing and implementing an effective FCPA compliance program.
Key topics include:
· The New FCPA Corporate Enforcement Policy: Key Developments
· Potential Effect on Cooperation and Self-Disclosure Decisions
· Next Steps for Companies
· Ensuring FCPA compliance program Efficiency
· Best Compliance Practices
