From the Foreword by the FCPA Professor Mike Koehler

In the current global marketplace, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) risk needs to be on the radar screen of most companies - large and small, public and private, and across industry sectors. Given the current enforcement theories of the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission, FCPA risk is not always apparent from reading the statute. There is no way for business organizations to truly eliminate FCPA risk, but such risk can be effectively managed and minimized through pro-active policies and procedures and other means of risk assessment.

Thomas Fox is a leading authority on FCPA compliance and risk assessment and his prior experience as a former corporate counsel gives him a unique perspective in integrating compliance into business strategy. In The Best Practices Under the FCPA and UK Bribery Act, he provides a comprehensive overview of FCPA and Bribery Act compliance and risk assessment and offers best practices that can be put to use from the boardroom to the training room and points in between. Fox’s use of real events as learning devices to demonstrate compliance best practices makes this book an engaging and informative read.

In this volume I have collected some of my posts which I think will help guide you in your own journey through the world of anti-corruption and anti-bribery compliance. I have broken the book down into the following chapters:

Some Thoughts on Best Practices – This chapter charts some of the evolving standards of a best practices compliance program, with articles on the thoughts of Department of Justice (DOJ) representatives; guidelines from the US Sentencing Commission; standards from the OECD; and comments on the UK Bribery Act.

The Nuts and Bolts of Compliance - This chapter includes articles regarding the ‘How To’ of compliance inside a corporation. As any in-house practitioner knows, the practice of law inside of a corporation is very different from private practice. I try to bring an in-house perspective and provide guidance on how to perform the day-to-day work of implementing, assessing and enhancing a compliance program, inside a corporation.

Investigations, Enforcement Actions and Legal Issues - In this chapter I discuss ongoing investigations, enforcement actions which resulted in Deferred or Non-Prosecution Agreements and legal issues. From this discussion you, the reader, should be able to understand the Department of Justice’s most current thinking on compliance issues.

Summing It All Up - This chapter highlights some of the top enforcement actions and compliance issues which companies have faced. These articles provide more than just ‘tea leaf’ readings of where enforcement is going across the globe and will provide to you solid guidance in your compliance program going forward. Show less
