As compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other anti-corruption statutes has matured into its own field, compliance professionals are faced with the proverbial one-way ratchet. U.S. enforcers’ compliance expectations continue to increase, and compliance programs now need to address multiple laws as more countries enhance and enforce their own anti-corruption regimes. This course will address the essential elements of an effective compliance program.
After several years of rapid growth and changing expectations, compliance professionals would be well-served to reassess their compliance programs and monitor the latest developments in anti-corruption legislation and enforcement. This compliance course will help attendees identify red flags that indicate potential non-compliance and aid in achieving multiple goals with their anti-corruption compliance program.
Why Should You Attend:
Notwithstanding the recent changes in leadership at the Department of Justice, the government’s focus on compliance with the FCPA has shown no signs of abating.
