The U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities Exchange Commission continue their increasing crackdown on foreign corruption. It is critical for any company that engages in any type of business in a foreign country or with a foreign entity to be familiar with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other laws the government relies on to investigate and prosecute suspected acts of corruption. 

Every company -- regardless of size and regardless of whether it is private or public -- should recognize the red flags that prompt further government inquiry.  In-house counsel and private practitioners discussed the steps your company, regardless of size, can take to minimize exposure from conducting business in a foreign country or with a foreign entity, including implementing compliance programs, providing training for employees, and establishing controls for monitoring those interacting with foreign entities or individuals.

Topics covered include:

• Red flags that spark government investigations
• Steps organizations should take when it sees a red flag
• How to reduce the risk of FCPA violations
• Strategies for operating in emerging and high-risk markets
• Risks in third party relationships
• Activities the government focuses on
