issues

voluntarily disclosed to the SEC
• Government settlements are also requiring external
monitors to ensure compliance
• 2- and 3-year monitors are becoming a standard part of
settlements
• The annual cost of external monitors can range from $1 to $3+
million per year

FCPA Fundamentals
1. Anti-Bribery Provision
• Makes it illegal to make payments with a corrupt motive directly or
indirectly, to foreign officials, officials of foreign political parties, or
any other person acting as a conduit for payments to foreign
officials or political parties for the purpose of influencing the official,
in order to assist in obtaining/retaining business
2. Books and Records Provision
• Requires companies who file reports with the SEC to maintain
records that accurately reflect transactions and the nature and
quantity of corporate assets and liabilities
3. Other Key Facts
• Ignorance of the law is not a valid defense
• Source of the alleged bribe does not have to be in the U.S.
• Actions of an agent acting “on behalf” of a company are attributed
to company
• Actions of the foreign sub will be attributed to the U.S. parent
