The last year has brought about many developments in anti-bribery legislation and regulation, including new SEC whistleblower rules, guidance and implementation of the UK Bribery Act, and stepped-up enforcement efforts by the Department of Justice with increased fines and jail time and the targeting of individual officers. Bay Area companies, particularly those in the financial services and technology industry, must prepare in this era of global economies. Our discussion will cover the basic FCPA and Bribery Act rules, recent enforcement trends, the role of the board in anti-bribery compliance programs, state and federal regulatory compliance issues, and some recent examples that may keep you up at night.
