The potential risk of non-compliance increases with global integration of financial transactions and markets. These include the Financial Services Authority in the UK, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) in Germany, the Swiss Financial Markets Supervisory Authority (FINMA), and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority; among others. Additionally, the extra-territorial application of a variety of U.S. laws, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the RICO mandate a coordinated, global approach when a company responds to an incident or inquiry.  Companies operating in multiple jurisdictions simultaneously face unique challenges when conducting internal investigations, and steps taken at the outset require thoughtful attention to those issues.
