Event Synopsis: Eliminating corruption often seems like an impossible task. In fact, it may well be impossible because ‘corruption’ In the US, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) bans payments by individuals and businesses, to foreign government officials or political parties in an attempt to obtain an advantage in business. FCPA enforcement is increasing dramatically and immense and often crippling criminal and civil enforcement penalties are becoming more and more common. Companies doing business overseas need to understand the risk profile of their operations, implement a credible anticorruption compliance infrastructure, and send a clear message to employees and counterparties that bribery will not be tolerated. Failure to do so poses the risk of more than just legal fines and penalties. The consequences include damaged business reputation, loss of competitiveness, debarment, business failure, and ruined families. Fines and other penalties associated with FCPA enforcement actions routinely rise to the level of hundreds of millions of dollars. Public companies, investment funds and other global markets participants can find themselves losing billions in market value in addition to fines paid and business lost. What can companies can do to protect themselves? The Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission in 2012 released a guide that articulates the hallmarks of effective compliance programs. Although an effective corporate policy will vary depending on size and type of company, governing anti-bribery laws, and the risks of corruption, several overarching practices can be recommended including: communication and training, risk assessment, compliance, oversight, and due diligence.
