While Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement activity has not come close to returning to the heights seen a few years ago, 2022 reflected significant increases from the prior year in both the number of cases against corporate defendants (eight vs. four) and the combined total of monetary penalties levied ($1.56 billion1 vs. $459 million). Consistent with this upward trend of enforcement activity, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continue to signal that anti-corruption enforcement is a priority and that there will be significant and growing enforcement efforts going forward.
