Companies doing business in Latin America face recurring Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) risks such as the presence of varying degrees of state owned or controlled entities. Other compliance risks include the heavy reliance on third parties and intermediaries and the struggle to conduct effective due diligence and understand foreign business cultures.Former DOJ and SEC officials and a former federal agent will discuss timely and critical issues that impact companies who operate in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and other countries in the Region, including:
- Who is a "foreign official" and factors that must now be considered to determine whether state-owned or controlled companies qualify as "instrumentalities" under the FCPA
- Understanding how the Dodd-Frank whistleblower provisions impact FCPA enforcement, voluntary disclosures, and investigation
- The ever-expanding extraterritorial reach of the FCPA against foreign companies and their officers, directors and employees
- Third-party intermediaries - due diligence and red flags
- What is on the horizon - industries subject to US government scrutiny and risk areas to watch in Latin America
- What the government expects to see in your company's compliance program - targeting policies to geography, risk level and operational structures, and third-party business partners.
