Anti-Corruption Compliance, Understanding the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)

BPM, Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP and Dezan Shira & Associates are pleased to present a discussion about the risks companies face in complying with the US Foreign Corrupt Act (FCPA) and what you can do to detect and deter corruption and protect shareholders.

Anti-corruption compliance has been top of mind for boards of directors, audit committees, and senior management of many multinational companies the last few years. The trend of increased enforcement of the FCPA that began five years ago has continued in the US, and has been increased in Europe, particularly the UK. With the weakened global economy increasing competition in emerging countries, the risk of FCPA and additional bribery/corruption violations continues to grow.
The topics we will cover include:

• Can You Interpret Your Books and Records? - Clark Keeler, Director BPM and Josh Hachadourian, Senior Manager BPM
• Considering the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act When Engaging in Global Commerce - Berne Kluber, Partner Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP, Houston
• What to do When the Feds Come Knocking - Berne Kluber, Partner Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP, Houston
• Update on Chinese Financial Management - Richard Cant, Director Dezan Shira & Associates
