Anti-corruption - FCPA enforcement in 2010 and beyond: A business integrity officer’s perspective
Andrea Bonime-Blanc looks at what 2010 holds for enforcement of the 1977 US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
The US DOJ, especially through its Criminal Division Chief, Lanny Breuer, has been vociferous about what it intends to do next on FCPA enforcement.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (US SEC), long responsible for investigating and enforcing the “books and records” or accounting provisions of the FCPA, has become a centre of activity as well after years of being less proactive on this topic.
