- Excerpt from Recent Trends and Patterns in FCPA Enforcement:

Last year, we noted that 2012 had been “a fairly slow time” in terms of corporate enforcement actions, with twelve enforcement actions against corporations. 2013 was slower still, with only nine corporate enforcement actions. There was a steep increase in corporate fines, however, and enforcement against individuals saw a marked increase, from five in 2012 to sixteen in 2013—eight of whom pleaded guilty.
