Last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) instituted a Cease and Desist Order again Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (WWT) and one of its employees, Leesen Chang (Chang). The Order was to obtain certain civil penalties and fines for conduct of WWT and Chang concerning violations of the books and records and internal control provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) for its China operations. As noted by the FCPA Professor, “The Watts enforcement action is yet another example of an FCPA enforcement action focused on Chinese Design Institutes.” WWT paid a fine of $200,000, agreed to disgorge profits of $2,755,815 and paid prejudgment interest of $820,791. Chang paid a fine of $25,000.
