Event Synopsis:
Announced on April 5, 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ's) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Pilot Program (FCPA) states that if a company voluntarily discloses an FCPA misconduct, participates in appropriate remediation, and offers full cooperation, then, it is eligible for reduced fine and may be considered for a declination. There is no question that FCPA prosecutions have skyrocketed over the last ten years. Significant enforcement actions, including the recent Och-Ziff and Embraer resolutions, have been made since the program began.
Now, more than ever, businesses should not only put compliance programs into place but should be able to communicate them repeatedly and enforce them properly throughout the entire organization to protect themselves in the event the government learns about prior violations.
In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will help companies and their counsel understand the fundamental aspects of the DOJ's FCPA Pilot Program. Speakers will also offer best compliance practices and will provide an in-depth discussion of weighing the positive benefits of self-disclosure.
Key topics include:
The FCPA Pilot Program - Lessons Learned
Notable Cases
Opportunities and Drawbacks
To Self-Disclose or Not?
Regulatory Outlook
