This past week, my second book, “Best Practices Under the FCPA and Bribery Act” was released. Over the past few years I have tried to provide the compliance practitioner with solid information that can be used to implement, review and enhance a US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or UK Bribery Act based compliance program. I am often asked to collect my blog posting regarding what are the current best practices for an anti-corruption/anti-bribery compliance program. In other words, what are the specifics of a compliance program. See more +
This past week, my second book, “Best Practices Under the FCPA and Bribery Act” was released. Over the past few years I have tried to provide the compliance practitioner with solid information that can be used to implement, review and enhance a US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or UK Bribery Act based compliance program. I am often asked to collect my blog posting regarding what are the current best practices for an anti-corruption/anti-bribery compliance program. In other words, what are the specifics of a compliance program. This volume will provide the compliance practitioner with information that can be used for the ‘nuts and bolts’ of compliance.

Using the format of the most recent US Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) “A Resource Guide to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)” [the “FCPA Guidance”]; I have included some of my thoughts on what you can do to create and maintain a best practices compliance program. I have also included some thoughts on how to create and maintain such a compliance program using the Six Principles of an Adequate Procedures compliance regime under the UK Bribery Act.

I hope that you can use this volume, in conjunction with the FCPA Guidance and the Ministry of Justice’s Six Principles of an Adequate Procedures compliance program, to implement or enhance your compliance regime. Both the FCPA Guidance and Six Principles make clear that there is no ‘one size fits all’ compliance program. The key is to assess your company’s risks and to manage those risks appropriately. This volume will help you to determine the type and scope of program that is appropriate for your company and will assist your compliance efforts going forward. See less -
