Businesses wanting to take advantage of growing, lucrative foreign markets should weigh the potential rewards against the risk of violating anti-corruption laws. With the recent surge in U.S. enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA), companies would be wise to implement rigorous risk assessment, compliance, and employee training programs to protect themselves in the event of a problem. In "Leading Practices and FCPA Compliance," Kim Andreasson, senior editor, Economist Intelligence Unit, interviews Nina Gross, director, Forensic & Dispute Services, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP, and Richard Grime, partner, O'Melveny & Myers LLP. They discuss how certain leading practices can help mitigate risk and provide evidence of good faith effort that may ease government penalties should problems emerge, as well as the importance of investing in a program that can be adjusted to the changing business environment and evolving business risks.
