Abstract
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Corporate Enforcement Policy continues to evolve over the years. The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently released its modifications on the FCPA’s Corporate Enforcement Policy which includes the intensified crackdown on M&A deals. In the new FCPA policy, a successor company who voluntarily discloses its predecessor company’s pre-acquisition FCPA violations will receive “a presumption in favor of a declination to prosecute.” Although the DOJ hasn’t provided parameters for the presumption, the successor company must be able to uncover the misconduct sooner and it shall meet the policy requirements to receive the right to declination.
In this rapidly changing legal environment, it is essential for companies involved in M&A deals to take necessary due diligence procedures. Counsel to businesses must be proactive in addressing potential FCPA violations. They must also develop strategic actions plans to ensure compliance.
In a LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will present an in-depth discussion of the latest and fundamental trends and developments in FCPA investigations in M&A transactions. Speakers will dig deeper as they analyze critical issues and offer the latest insights on how to stay compliant in this rapidly changing legal climate.
Key topics include:
• FCPA Investigations in M&A Deals: Trends and Statistics
• M&A Due Diligence Procedures
• Red Flags
• Risk Mitigation Techniques
• Best Compliance Strategies
• 2020 Outlook
