    Event Synopsis:
    2018 was an active year for the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) landscape, including numerous enforcement actions and policy revamps. Developments and modifications involving the FCPA are expected to proliferate in the years to come as the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continuously intensify their crackdown on anti-corruption and anti-bribery.

    To ensure compliance and minimize exposure to legal risks, companies and practitioners must be aware of the emerging developments in the regulatory paradigm. It is also important for them to take proactive steps in reviewing their compliance programs to avoid FCPA violations.

    In this Webcast, a panel of distinguished thought leaders and professionals will provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of the latest trends and developments in FCPA and will provide best compliance strategies in order to avoid legal pitfalls.

    Key topics include:
    • FCPA Enforcement Actions: A Lookback
    • Emerging FCPA Enforcement Trends and Developments
    • Recent FCPA Resolutions
    • Notable Cases and Court Rulings
    • Risks and Pitfalls
