WHEN IT COMES TO FCPA ENFORCEMENT: THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR.
Intentional. Consistent. Systematic.
Any company doing business with third parties overseas has noted intensified enforcement actions, multi-million dollar fines and damaging headlines. The number of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations prosecuted by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission has increased nearly 2000% over the past five years.
