Abstract
FCPA enforcement was a top priority in 2016. The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) brought the highest number of enforcement actions since the statute's enactment, with 27 corporate enforcement actions and a total of $6 billion corporate sanctions. Among the highlights from 2016 include the enforcement actions against Odebrecht, VimpelCom, Teva, Och-Ziff, JPMorgan and Embraer. In the same year, the DOJ also announced the FCPA Pilot Program, which aims to encourage self-reporting and cooperation. These heightened enforcement efforts of both DOJ and SEC have continued into 2017.

In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the latest FCPA enforcement trends and patterns. The speakers will also review notable enforcement actions from 2016 and how they will impact current and future FCPA compliance practices.

Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
-FCPA - An Overview
-Recent Enforcement Trends
-Latest Legal Developments
-Impact to FCPA Compliance Practice
-Recurring Statutory Issues
-Compliance Guidance
-DOJ's FCPA Pilot Program
-Yates Memo
-Trump's Impact on FCPA Enforcement
-DOJ and SEC's Priorities for 2017
