The Knowledge Group Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on Current Trends and Practices in Mitigating FCPA Risks and Threats in Global Private Equity Ventures Live Webcast

New York, NY, January 08, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: Current Trends and Practices in Mitigating FCPA Risks and Threats in Global Private Equity Ventures Live Webcast. This two-hour event is scheduled on February 2, 2016 @ 10:00 AM to 12:00 PMET.

Event Synopsis:

As Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations on several industries continue to ascend, regulators are likely to subject Private Equity (PE) firms to heightened scrutiny. Private equity firms may incur FCPA risks from the employment of unrelated fund managers and consultants as well as the laxity in terms of diligence and valuation involved in portfolio company acquisitions. Thus, by establishing effective compliance procedures and thorough anti-corruption due diligence, PE firms can operate efficiently amidst serious probing. However, PE fund advisers must be aware first of the FCPA risks and liabilities to avoid severe penalties and investigation costs.

In this two-hour live webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders will help firms understand the important aspects of this significant topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion of FCPA Risks and Threats in Global Private Equity Ventures. Speakers will also share helpful insights in handling critical issues and current trends. Best risk mitigation and FCPA compliance practices will be also discussed in this CLE course.

Key topics include:
- Foreign Corrupt Practices Act - An Overview
- Major FCPA Considerations
- FCPA Risks and Threats
- Possible Implications on PE Firms and their Portfolio Companies
- Risk Assessment and Monitoring
- Successor and Post-Acquisition Liabilities
- Common FCPA Violations
