Foreign Corrupt Practices: What you need to know
The potential price of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA): $1.6 billion. At least, that is the dollar figure of fines and penalties Siemens AG recently paid to settle allegations FCPA violations. For years, many corporations have elicited favorable treatment from foreign governments through bribery of public officials. The past 3-4 years, the US Government has enforced the FCPA as much as the prior 20 years combined.
Is your company at risk? How should your company increase its prevention efforts? What voluntary disclosures should you make? What sort of anti-corruption compliance program is recommended? Come hear from the Chief of the newly formed FCPA Unit of the SEC, Cheryl Scarboro along with Charles Duross, Assistant Chief, Fraud Section - Criminal Division, Department of Justice; Howard Weissman, VP & Associate General Counsel, International, Lockheed Martin; Tara Flanagan, Director, Legal Services, Cisco Systems; Peter Unger, Partner, Arent Fox; Tamika Tremaglio, Managing Director, Huron Consulting Group; Patrick Hays, Senior Attorney, The Shaw Group, Energy & Chemicals Division; and moderator Andrew Kaizer, Partner, Arent Fox.
