Read Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why Should You Attend :

  • Can I pay for the managers of my Chinese factory to travel to the United States?
  • Is it okay for me to give a wedding gift to the daughter of a Minister who invited me to the wedding ceremony?
  • I’m tempted to pay off a government clerk so that I can receive the permit that I need but I don’t want to get into trouble. Will I?
  • We have discovered that a foreign company that we are in the process of acquiring has been making illegal payments to win business. What do we do?
  • Can my company be held responsible for bribes paid by a consultant hired to help us win a government contract?

Any company or person that does business internationally could face one or more of the above scenarios. According to the Corruption Perceptions Index (developed annually by the international NGO, Transparency International, to measure perceived levels of public sector corruption) two-thirds of the 176 countries reviewed scored in the bottom-half on the Index. Among these are many emerging markets where paying for “favors” may be a requirement of doing business or for winning contracts. More innocently, in some cultures, it is customary for business partners to exchange gifts as an expression of mutual respect.

This webinar will explore which of the above activities are not permitted by the FCPA, which of them are, and under what conditions. The United States has sharply increased enforcement actions against companies and individuals for FCPA violations. Penalties can include fines, jail time, and/or denial of export privileges. This webinar gives you the tools to help you minimize or to mitigate the risks of becoming the target of an FCPA investigation.

Topic Background:

The FCPA prohibits U.S.-based businesses and foreign businesses while in the United States from making cash or in-kind payments to foreign government officials to gain a business advantage, including for the purposes of obtaining or retaining business. The FCPA also requires certain companies to develop and maintain internal accounting controls and penalizes the falsification of books and records in attempts to circumvent its anti-bribery provisions.
