The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Handbook, sixth edition, imparts practical guidance on anticorruption compliance and investigations. It addresses the elements of the statute's anti-bribery and accounting provisions as well as the potential penalties.
This volume reviews in detail common transactions and situations, presenting anticorruption risks to multinational corporations; in particular, the use of third-party intermediaries and representatives who have been key to almost 90 percent of all DOJ and SEC FCPA resolutions.
The 2024 Sixth Edition updates important chapters on these subjects while expanding its treatment of key corporate issues. These include the fiduciary duties of officers and directors and the FCPA risks in mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures. New to the Sixth Edition is a final chapter discussing in depth the six criminal FCPA trials of individual defendants during the previous seven years, together with analysis of the government's theories, the defense challenges and strategies, and the sentences sought by the DOJ and imposed by five district courts.
