About Coffey Burlington
The law firm of Coffey Burlington, PL (www.coffeyburlington.com), a commercial litigation and white collar criminal defense firm, has extensive experience in counseling and defending clients in matters involving the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and related anti-corruption laws. Coffey Burlington represents companies and individuals in all aspects of anti-corruption matters, including internal investigations, training, counseling, due diligence, defense of government investigations, enforcement actions, and criminal proceedings. Coffey Burlington also helps companies develop and implement anti-bribery compliance programs and conduct anti-corruption due diligence on proposed transactions. We train boards, senior management, sales teams, and employees on anti-bribery issues.
Event Synopsis:
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) of 1977 made it unlawful to make payments to foreign government officials to assist in obtaining or retaining business. The law, which includes civil and criminal provisions, has been rigorously enforced. Last September, in the first major FCPA case against a financial services company, the hedge fund Och-Ziff Capital Management Group agreed to pay $412 million to resolve charges that it made illicit payments to government officials in African countries. The FCPA could apply to any payment to any foreign government official made by or on behalf of an American enterprise. Any company doing business overseas could potentially come within its maw.
In this live Webcast, a panel of thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will lay out the essentials of a compliance program that will be effective in educating and monitoring company executives and staff on the practices prohibited by the statute. The speakers will provide an overview of the FCPA and review recent enforcement actions that provide a roadmap of governmental policies and priorities.
Key topics include:
FCPA: History and Overview
Anti-Bribery and Accounting Provisions
Corruption Risk Assessment
Civil and Criminal Penalties
Recognizing Operational Pitfalls
Internal Accounting Controls
Establishing Best Practices
