About the Course
Introduction
This webinar will examine the updated DOJ approach to FCPA enforcement. The panel will explore what the recent guidance means in practice and how to translate it into concrete actions. The experts will discuss "what changed," then address risk assessment under new criteria, and delve into third-party management, an impactful organizational control area for improvement.
Description
The panel will address the cross-border complexities of third-party work: engaging state-owned enterprises, coordinating with distributors/agents, and working effectively with local counsel while maintaining books-and-records discipline. From this starting point, the panel covers investigations and self-disclosure, including scope of inquiry, documenting decision points, preserving evidence, and management/board coordination, followed by program training best practices and client counseling strategies.
Listen as our panel provides practitioners with practical insight and tools to counsel clients, triage risk, examine and address third-party lifecycle controls, understand and mitigate cross-border challenges, plan for investigations and disclosures, and design effective training plans.
