Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)
Venue: DLA Piper, London, England
Description: With the strength of the pound and the increasing investment opportunities in the US more and more companies are looking to do business in the US.
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) plays a major role in how and who companies do business with. It has been well documented that the US Government is taking a low tolerance on international business transactions where corporate advantage has been achieved through financial or personal influence, not just on political and senior figures but also who you do business with. Due diligence is key in today’s business when partnering for future investments.
This briefing will examine the importance of the FCPA for companies looking to do business in the US, the importance in the company you keep and how to protect your business from outside influences.
Confirmed Speakers:
Dorothy Lutter, Minister Counselor for Commercial Affairs, U.S. Embassy
Chaired by:
Neil Gerrard, Global Group Head of Regulatory and Government Affairs, DLA Piper
