Recent actions involving conduct in Asia highlight the increasing complexity and global coordination of anti-corruption efforts.

Though large settlements with Odebrecht and Braskem in 2016 have kept the focus on Latin America, whether it is the increased cooperation with foreign authorities, the increasingly aggressive use of conspiracy charges to reach conduct by foreign entities, the ongoing scrutiny of third parties or the increased emphasis on self-disclosure and cooperation, Asia-related FCPA enforcement matters provide important lessons for anti-corruption practitioners and clients.
