In today's environment, with global economies emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic and facing issues with inflation, supply chains and labor, this area is particularly challenging. Aggressive enforcement of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, a growing web of country-specific anti-corruption legislation and increasing cross-border cooperation by enforcement authorities continues to create risk for companies and keeps compliance professionals on their toes.In this chapter, slated for publication in the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics's annual Compliance and Ethics Manual, we provide an overview of the legal landscape surrounding anti-corruption/anti-bribery laws, highlighting a few of the most prominent national and international regimes. We also provide a series of best practices and considerations for developing a compliance program that effectively addresses risk and complies with legal requirements. Finally, we share our observations on emerging trends and recent developments in the anti-corruption/anti-bribery space.

Download or read book Preventing Corporate Corruption written by Stefano Manacorda and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the results of a two-year international research project conducted for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC) to investigate and provide solutions for reducing bribery and corruption in corporations and institutions. It starts with an empirical case study on the effectiveness of a set of self-regulation rules adopted by multinational companies in the energy sector. Second, it explores the context and factors leading to corruption internationally (and the relationships between domestic criminal law and self-regulation). Third, it examines guidelines for the adoption of compliance programs developed by international institutions, to serve as models for the future. The principle result of the book is a three-pronged Anti-Bribery Corruption Model (so called ABC Model), endorsed by the United Nations, intended as a corruption prevention tool intended to be adopted by private corporations. This work provides a common, research-based standard for anti-bribery compliance programs, with international applications. This work will be of interest to researchers studying Criminology and Criminal Justice, particularly in the areas of organized crime and corruption, as well as related areas like Business Ethics and Comparative International Law.

Download or read book The Compliance Mentorship Program written by Jessica Tillipman and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the anti-corruption, ethics, and compliance landscape has changed dramatically. This is a direct consequence of a global anti-corruption enforcement effort led by the United States through its enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The increase in enforcement has also been spurred by the adoption of several multilateral anti-corruption agreements, such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Anti-Bribery Convention and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC). These agreements have spurred several countries to enact anti-corruption laws, such as the U.K. Bribery Act, Brazil's Clean Company Act, and France's Loi Sapin II. The laws prohibit, among other things, the bribery of foreign government officials. They also encourage companies to dedicate resources to developing anti-corruption compliance programs and maintaining robust internal controls.The increase in anti-corruption enforcement has profoundly impacted large, multinational corporations. Many of these companies have responded to the enforcement increase by investing heavily in sophisticated compliance programs designed to prevent or mitigate liability for anti-corruption violations. The development of rigorous internal compliance programs has been particularly pronounced in the defense industry, especially among large, U.S. defense contractors.Unlike their large counterparts, many small government contractors are largely unable to keep up with the rapidly evolving trends and best practices in ethics and compliance. Their inattention to this critical area leaves them at risk for compliance failures, fraud, and corruption. As a result, small contractors are more likely than their large counterparts to be debarred from the U.S. procurement system.Despite the harsh consequences of compliance deficiencies, few small contractors are likely to dedicate resources to the development of vital compliance policies and internal controls because of the reality of limited resources. This has created a critical gap in the defense industry supply chain, as many large contractors may partner with small companies that lack the sophistication and resources necessary to ensure compliance with the many government contracts compliance requirements.One solution to this growing problem is to incentivize large government contractors to help their small subcontractors develop compliance programs. The incentives, of course, must be substantial enough to convince large contractors to share their confidential and proprietary compliance programs and best practices.Fortunately, a model for this type of arrangement exists in the U.S. procurement system. The “mentor-protégé” program is designed to help small businesses navigate the immense government contracts regulatory system.Under this program, generally a larger, more experienced contractor serves as a “mentor” to a smaller contractor (the “protégé”). The mentor, among other things, guides the protégé through the complex procurement regime by sharing expertise and resources. In return, the mentor is provided with contractual opportunities and incentives by the U.S. Government.This model could benefit companies in the compliance space by providing a mechanism for contracting parties to exchange information and ensure transparency throughout all levels of the procurement process.This article recommends incentivizing large businesses to utilize their vast resources to assist their small business partners with the development of internal ethics and compliance programs in order to improve the overall integrity of the government procurement system. It analyzes the development of global anti-corruption compliance standards through an overview of noteworthy changes in laws, regulations and enforcement, as well as the current compliance risks that large companies face when contracting with smaller companies who lack robust compliance systems and internal controls. The article concludes by recommending the adoption of a corporate mentor-protégé program that incentivizes larger companies to dedicate resources to helping smaller contractors develop anti-corruption compliance programs.

This book was released on 2019-03-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-trial resolutions, often referred to as settlements, have been the predominant means of enforcing foreign bribery and other related offences since the entry into force of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention 20 years ago. The last decade has seen a steady increase in the use of coordinated multi-jurisdictional non-trial resolutions, which have, to date, permitted the highest global amount of combined financial penalties in foreign bribery cases. This study is the first cross-country examination of the different types of resolutions that can be used to resolve foreign bribery cases.
Download or read book Best Practices Under the FCPA and Bribery Act written by Thomas Fox and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 is an attempt to provide the compliance practitioner with information that can be used for the 'nuts and bolts' of compliance. Using a format similar to the recent US Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guide, "A Resource Guide to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)" [the "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 of my prior articles on how to create and maintain such a compliance program using the Six Principles of Adequate Procedures compliance regime under the UK Bribery Act.
Download or read book Putting Effective Anti Corruption Compliance Programs Into Practice written by Vijay Sampath and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global anti-corruption enforcement activity focuses on sanctioning organizations and individuals for violating anti-corruption laws. As part of the sentencing process, regulators have emphasized remediation efforts companies must undertake so that violations are proactively detected before they occur. For these purposes, companies have to institute and maintain effective compliance programs that evolve with changing laws and business conditions globally. Drawing from resolved enforcement actions and guidance provided by regulators, I examine best practices to achieve an effective compliance program. As an overarching point, I believe it is imperative for companies to leverage the most current technology solutions to implement an effective compliance program. I discuss the components and functionality of an integrated technology solution designed for anti-corruption compliance.
