Event Synopsis:

Companies conducting business beyond domestic markets are implementing due diligence programs to screen and monitor third parties and agents. The complexity of third party networks is increasing in business and thereby is posing greater risk of fraud, bribery, and other misconducts that are addressed in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

The strong focus upon the FCPA by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission makes third-party diligence an important issue. Increasingly, it is imperative that businesses and their counsel develop effective compliance programs to minimize third-party risks.

During this valuable CLE course, our panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide a review and thorough discussion of the FCPA and Third Party Due Diligence Requirements for 2015.

The authoritative panel will discuss the special risks created by various types of third-party intermediaries and agents, best practices under the FCPA for due diligence, and provide sound strategies for designing due diligence programs when conducting business around the world.

Key topics include:

The FCPA and Third-Parties
Third-Party Due Diligence
Third-Party Due Diligence Requirements
Back-ground Checks, Investigation, Audit, & Training
Utilizing Due Diligence
Mitigating Regional and Local Risks
Threats from Uncooperative Third Parties
Recent Enforcement and Penalties
Compliance Program Design & Best Practices
