FCPA Data Analytics
Developing Your Risk Profile: Utilizing Data Analytics for Risk Assessments and Identifying Compliance Weak Spots
Compliance programs must be customized to the challenges facing each company; and be comprehensive enough to deal with all of the risks the company has identified. An effective risk assessment is crucial, and should begin with a detailed picture of the compliance landscape your company operates in.
Since your compliance efforts should be aimed squarely at the risks that are most critical to your business, it is important to identify all of the variables that represent the threats and dangers.
In this session we will examine best practices for identifying the threats and developing your risk profile, such as:
• Developing an understanding of the current state of affairs; finding out what risks already exist; and documenting the key company processes, systems, and transactions that need to be monitored for risk
• Ensuring a full understanding of your business operations when conducting a risk assessment
• Mapping out the potential risk contact points that exist throughout your company
• Assessing the current controls in place to prevent, detect, and correct violations
• Determining and prioritizing the compliance enhancement measures you undertake
• Updating your risk assessment periodically
10:15
Data Acquisition — Accessing and Capturing Clean, High-Value Data Across Contrasting Systems and Multiple Data Sources
After mapping your risk profile, the next step is to ensure that you are acquiring internal and external data from reliable sources. During this session our speakers will review real-world examples of data output reports; discuss how to assess the data; and, determine if the program is capturing the right data.
Key Topics:
• Defining high-value data and progressively accessing it—to avoid accessing everything all at once
• Collecting data across multiple different systems and assessing what data is important; what data is being captured; and what data is not being captured accurately
• Identifying data sources and deciding how to aggregate the data to ensure good input and output
• Evaluating the internal and third-party data analytics tools that are available, and deciding which data feeds your organization can leverage
• Cleaning the Data by utilizing a continuous feedback loop to eliminate false positives
11:00 Networking Break
11:15
Data Governance: Managing Integrity, Conducting Risk Scoring and Handling Exception Processes
An effective data governance program is comprised of many moving parts, as critical data can be coming in from a variety of sources, documents, systems, and technologies that are needed to run operations. In addition, it is crucial to evaluate existing and available resources—budget, personnel and technology—to navigate and prioritize areas of higher risk.
Join us in this session as we review key considerations when developing an effective data governance program, such as:
• Do compliance and control personnel have the appropriate experience and qualifications for their roles and responsibilities?
• Has there been sufficient staffing for compliance personnel to effectively audit, document, analyze, and act on the results of the compliance effort?
• Determining what to do when payments and expenditures are above aggregate risk score thresholds:
» Define what constitutes a red flag
» Understand the details of the activity—and analyze whether approvals, third parties, amounts, and circumstances align with existing policies and procedures
» Track and document each follow-up activity
» Assess remediation and consider whether follow-up risk assessments, communication and/or discipline is necessary
• Using data feeds for continuous risk re-assessments and monitoring program upgrades
• Providing training and ongoing support to ensure that employees and third parties can analyze incoming data to determine if it is consistent and trustworthy
• Steps to take when data reveals employees and third parties are not following critical policies:
» Understanding whether any controls failed
» Determining if the employee received the appropriate compliance training—and if the compliance expectations were extended to third parties
» Performing the appropriate investigative steps and addressing remediation
» Deciding if additional predictive and detective measures should be implemented
12:00
Implementing Automated Transaction Monitoring Applications for Real-Time Risk Detection and Analysis
A data-driven compliance program requires having the monitoring tools that are necessary to retrieve data from multiple systems, databases, and different parts of the business automatically; both domestically and internationally. This often leads to the necessity of having the IT department build such a program in-house; and having data scientists analyze all of the data for risk identity and assessment.
However, many successful compliance analytics and transaction monitoring initiatives can be utilized with applications that do not require the construction of a costly and complicated on-premise infrastructure. The advantages of utilizing such applications from a compliance standpoint, is they put more control in the hands of the compliance team instead of IT—which may not prioritize the transactions in the same way.
Key Takeaways for this session:
• Determining the next steps for the compliance team when addressing payments and transactions that are above aggregate risk score thresholds
• Ensuring the data feeds and monitoring tools are coming in and working in real time – and developing processes for determining what warrants internal investigations and further action
• Which transactions to monitor and how to monitor them:
» Gifts
» Donations
» Effective feedback through communications and HR teams
• Identifying the solutions and applications that are needed to risk-rank transactions and geographic regions; to readily identify areas that require enhanced due diligence and potential internal investigations
• Equipping the compliance team with data and “actionable insights” early in the transaction lifecycle, so they are able to make betterinformed decisions
1:00 Networking Lunch 2:00
Special Interview 2:30
Using Data Analytics to Measure the Effectiveness of Your Compliance Program: Concrete Examples of Using Metrics and KPIs to Evaluate Risk Detection and Compliance
Red Flags
Recent DOJ guidance stresses to companies the importance of leveraging data analytics and other objective evidence to demonstrate a compliance program is working effectively. As such, metrics-driven solutions are needed to align compliance accountability; and embed a proactive compliance function on the first line of defense.
By utilizing compliance metrics to identify corruption risks early, companies are in a better position to reduce risks and understand whether the correct controls are in place.
Key Takeaways:
• The importance of tracking the numbers at regular intervals, and keeping records over an extended time period; in order to have a firm grasp on trends, and the ability to compare where you are now versus where you started
• Determining which compliance metrics to measure, and comparing them to industry standards and benchmarks for improved predictability
• Assembling qualitative data-gathering tools—such as surveys and questionnaires—to encourage adaptability and accountability
• Concrete examples of metrics used for assessing and analyzing risk
3:30 Networking Break
3:45 Audience Polling – Case Study
Behind the Scenes of Building an Effective Data Analytics Program: How to Know if You Are Achieving True Data-Driven Compliance and Monitoring
This session will walk you through a practical case study that defines how to get started and refine your blueprint for effective data-driven compliance and monitoring.
Topics will include:
• The goals for those compliance analytics efforts
• Detailed walk-throughs of those compliance analytics efforts
• Approaches to building such programs (e.g., internal, external or hybrid) and the resources needed
• Identifying the data needed, the process for acquiring the data and overcoming challenges around data availability and quality
• Connecting monitoring programs with existing or new pre-approval systems
4:30
Utilizing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Investigations and Compliance: The Latest Best Practices and Innovation for Upgrading Your Approach
AI and ML technology can improve the efficiency of compliance operations and reduce costs in today's data-driven compliance environment, by autonomously categorizing compliance-related activities and alerting them to important updates, events and activities.
In this session we will discuss the advantages and best practices for leveraging AI and ML in your compliance program:
• Conducting periodic reviews of your risk assessment program, based on continuous access to operational data and information over time and across functions
• Leveraging Machine Learning by learning from past data and past transactions, and by reviewing false positives
• What can be gleaned from anomaly detection
• Feeding back learnings from algorithms and human learning that allow you to leverage AI and ML toward making them more predictive
• Managing risk around your third-party organization over the “lifespan” of the relationship
• Identifying emerging risk factors before they become a broader compliance concern—and assessing whether or not a review or an internal investigation is needed

Sanctions as the New FCPA: The Increasing Overlap of Anti-Corruption and Economic Sanctions — and the Anticipated Impact on Your Compliance Strategy
Last year, the Biden Administration announced that fighting corruption was a core U.S. national security interest and announced its intent to fight illicit finance. In addition, as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, the United States began to issue increasingly punishing economic sanctions and export controls, and Biden administration officials have begun publicly signaling their intention to aggressively enforce them.
The overlap of sanctions and FCPA was confirmed earlier this year when Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco emphasized the importance of sanctions and export controls as a DOJ priority, explaining that “one way to think about this is as sanctions being the new FCPA”. As such, legal and compliance professionals should heed this comparison and take steps to leverage internal resources to strengthen compliance across the board.
In this session, our panelists will explore the interplay and overlap of anti-corruption, national security and economic sanctions. Topics of discussion will include:
• How increased sanctions enforcement will impact FCPA enforcement
• The growing overlap between corporate crime and national security, including: the use of money laundering to evade sanctions; terrorist group financing; and cybercrime
• The proposal that will improve the United States’ ability to work with international partners to recover assets linked to foreign corruption
• Increasing collaboration across various enforcement authorities who investigate and prosecute such crimes and the impact on the enforcement landscape

Almost two full years into the Biden Administration is a great time to assess whether the Administration and DOJ are making good on their pledge to “surge resources” in order to combat corporate crime. The assurances made by the DOJ suggest that they will be routing resources back to investigating financial crimes — and also signal that would-be corporate defendants should expect a renewed wave of inquiries.
In this session, leading defense counsel will highlight the new realities and some of the areas that the DOJ “surge in resources” will be allocated, such as:
• The creation of an FBI squad dedicated to the DOJ’s Criminal Division, Fraud Section, and the anticipated impact on investigations
• The nuances of the DOJ's corporate enforcement policy, and individual liability risks
• DOJ's expectations for implementing data analytics-and the impact on compliance program evaluations
• Increased enforcement of sanctions and export controls through the continued use of new tools and innovations
• How the enforcement of cryptocurrency crime will affect FCPA, AML and fraud enforcement
• Stringent enforcement of NPA, DPA, and plea agreement violations, and warning that violations of such agreements may engender more painful results than originally posed by the underlying charges

Today’s compliance function is called upon to address compliance weak spots and mitigate heightened risk factors. In addition, the DOJ’s FCPA Unit will continue to evaluate corporate compliance programs to ensure that companies are designing and implementing effective compliance systems and controls, creating a culture of compliance, and promoting ethical values.
Implementing compliance programs that are well designed and effectively work in practice is challenging, so it is critical to closely monitor your program and build strong controls to detect and prevent misconduct.
Be sure to join this interactive panel as we discuss some of the most vexing challenges confronting the compliance community, and review what the DOJ is looking for, such as:
• Examining the company’s process for assessing risk and building a program that is tailored to then match those resources to the specific risk profile
• Reviewing the qualifications and expertise of your compliance personnel and other gatekeeper roles
• Continuously testing the effectiveness of your compliance program to show that it is: improving, adapting, and updating the program to ensure that its sustainable and adapting to changing risks
• How to truly know if your program is working—and when to sound the alarm

With clear signs that anti-corruption enforcement remains a top DOJ priority, now more than ever companies are focused not simply on prevention and detection but preparedness for the possibility of defending against enforcement activity.
Starting from the first signs of a compliance issue to successful resolution, our panel will discuss best practices for managing internal investigations, reputational risk and more.
• Reviewing the impact of recent DOJ enforcement actions and settlements
• Pitfalls to avoid when assessing confidentiality and privilege
• Best practices for investigations involving former employees
• Creating standards, manuals, policies, operating procedures for the team
• Budget: How much you need to spend and mitigating the risk of spiraling costs
• When to involve outside counsel
• When and when not to investigate new or peripheral red flags
• When to stop: How to know when to conclude the investigation
The increased focus on Brazil illustrated the DOJ’s continuing commitment to combatting corruption there and in the international marketplace. In addition, the extent of coordination between U.S. and Brazilian enforcement agencies is quite challenging.
In this session our regional panel of experts will discuss:
• How critical it is to voluntarily and timely disclose bad conduct
• Implementing, testing and maintaining an enhanced compliance program
• The continuing risk facing companies that operate in Brazil
• Legislation vs. enforcement in Brazil: dissecting the roles and responsibilities of Brazilian agencies at the federal, state and municipal levels
• The two critical areas of Leniency Agreements and key considerations for each area: compliance program assessment and continuous cooperation after signing the agreement
• Modifications to the Administrative Improbity Law, and the uncertainties brought about by non-prosecution agreements and reductions in enforcement levels

As the DOJ indicated it would earlier in the year, they have officially mandated — as part of resolving a corporate enforcement action — that a Chief Compliance Officer and CEO must certify under penalty of perjury and pursuant to a robust obstruction statute, that their organization’s compliance program is reasonably designed to prevent future violations.
With this expansion of the enforcement process, the C-suite and upper management must now expect these certifications in future resolutions with the DOJ in plea agreements or pre-trial diversion agreements.
Join us in this session as we discuss what it now takes for your program to be “reasonably designed”, such as:
• Your commitment to compliance that highlights the policies, procedures and systems needed for proper oversight
• The extent of due diligence required to ensure that compliance programs are “reasonably designed”
• Conducting periodic risk-based reviews
• Training and guidance initiatives
• Internal reporting and investigation capabilities
• Enforcement and discipline processes — including for third-party relationships
• Assurances in place for seamless and compliant mergers and acquisitions
• Steps in place for effective monitoring, testing and remediation
• Accurately identifying your organization’s risk profile to ensure that your program is well-designed; adequately resourced; and empowered to function effectively
• What may trigger a DOJ finding that a certified program is not "reasonably designed" — and the consequences

The DOJ does provide specific benefits to companies that self-disclose in the context of FCPA violations. However, when companies are evaluating whether to self-report violations of the FCPA, it is important to carefully consider a myriad of factors.
The risk calculus is complicated and fact-intensive. During this session, leading outside counsel will discuss key factors to incorporate into your analysis and decision-making:
• Initial considerations regarding the benefits and risks of self-disclosure
• Whether the company is a recidivist
• The practical impact of U.S. disclosure on foreign corruption investigations — will this expose your organization to foreign prosecution?
• The likelihood of similar, but undiscovered, misconduct in other locations or countries in which the company operates
• Assessing the possibility of full cooperation with the DOJ, including the production of documents and witnesses, both within the United States and overseas
• Possible exposure to parallel investigation by other U.S. and international authorities, and civil litigation
• The company’s compliance program and internal controls and their willingness to enhance that program
• The dynamics of whether self-disclosure will be considered “voluntary”
• Getting the sequencing and the substance right:
» Identifying in which order to disclose, how much to say, and to whom

An increase in investor and shareholder focus on ESG has further emphasized the link between a robust anti-corruption program and a company’s ESG program.
Recent and expected shifts in the regulatory reporting landscape pushed ESG to the forefront along with anti-corruption. In this session we will review best practices for successfully bringing ESG into the broader due diligence and compliance process, and walk you through the steps needed to implement and sustain a successful ESG program.
Key Takeaways:
• How to define ESG — along with the corresponding strategy, lessons learned, priorities and resources that are needed
• Operationalizing ESG and identifying the key data, metrics and risk factors to prioritize in your program
• Identifying potential human rights risks associated with business operations, including how to effectively conduct human rights impact assessments
• Implementing a technology solution that enables your organization to have a cohesive workflow that can capture and assess anti-corruption and ESG risks
• Assessing self-reported information provided by third parties, and supporting it with independent checks to better understand and verify your ESG footprint and approach
• Finding the right setup for merging ESG and compliance teams, based on: the factors driving your ESG interest; the specific risk profile and tolerance of your organization; and, the types and locations of the work your company does

In this session we will review how to foster and sustain a “see something, say something” culture to ensure that employee concerns and complaints of potential ethical lapses are appropriately handled; by:
• Ensuring the commitment and accountability of senior management, the C-suite and the Board
• Training and educating team members to spot and mitigate compliance risks
• Influencing the behavior of the workforce to develop a strong and ethical culture of compliance through hypotheticals and other alternative methods of training

Most compliance professionals anticipate that the DOJ’s new policies relating to corporate criminal enforcement will result in greater scrutiny of compliance programs and the imposition of more monitorships.
The recent policy shift is likely indicative of what is to come, as the DOJ seeks to ensure that companies have strong compliance programs in place. In this session we will discuss key components and challenges for a monitorship’s successes and missteps, such as:
• Conditions, process, criteria and selection of monitors
• Steps companies under investigation should take to avoid a monitor
• Best practices for managing an independent compliance monitorship

Compliance Under Pressure: The High Stakes, Evolving Compliance Role, and the Future of Individual Accountability, Global Program Expectations and Certification
The Administration and enforcement agencies are putting more resources behind the evaluation of corporate compliance programs than ever before. In addition, when the agencies are considering how to resolve a case with a company, they are increasingly asking for interviews with compliance personnel and data on the effectiveness of a compliance program; they are not just looking at whether a company has a strong program on paper.
The enforcement agencies want to see that the compliance personnel are qualified, trusted by the company, and committed to the goals of the compliance program. Join us in this session as we delve into:
• Perspectives on the changing expectations for the compliance function
• Re-assessing individual liability risks for C-Level and other executives
• The benefits of investing in a meaningful and effective compliance program to limit recidivism
• Satisfying obligations to report on the status of the compliance program
• Monitoring and auditing compliance program components, as well as reporting on current or anticipated enhancements
• Scope of individual prosecutor discretion to decide, or will there be leadership team directives on when to apply certification requirements?
• Possibility of “penalty of perjury” clause that would subject CEOs and CCOs to personal liability if DOJ disagrees with their conclusion that the program is “reasonably designed"
• Strengthening detection and prevention of violations of law and company policy
• Verifying that compliance officers have adequate access to — and engagement with — business functions, management, and the board of directors
• Continuously testing the effectiveness of your compliance program and that it is functioning effectively

From a compliance point of view, ephemeral communication apps and messaging are a serious risk dilemma. Uncertainty exists among companies on whether to prohibit the usage of these apps, or to implement a risk-based approach.
The DOJ has refined its position on the Enforcement Policy, and allows companies to use applications that support ephemeral messaging. However, companies are bound to implement the necessary guidelines. Join us in this session as our experts discuss the DOJ stance, and how it impacts investigations and compliance.
Topics for discussion include:
• Utilizing archiving tools that allow the organization to capture and retain content
• The new expectations for retaining business records and correspondence
• Best practices for ensuring that there is a specific business justification for the use of ephemeral messaging
• Adopting written policies governing the use, maintenance, and retention related to ephemeral messaging that specifically address litigation and regulatory responsibilities
• Providing regular, documented training about the appropriate use of ephemeral messaging
• Imposing appropriate and recorded discipline for instances in which employee misconduct occurs in violation of company policies

Steven A. Tyrrell Partner Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLPA company’s responsibility for its internal controls extends to its overall compliance program. As such, it is critical for a company trying to avoid internal accounting controls violations to focus on preventing corrupt payments of any kind, even if those payments would not strictly violate the FCPA provisions.
In this session, our experts will discuss how industry can strengthen controls with examples of what is adequate — and also review where organizations have gone wrong.
Topics for discussion include:
• The latest “no bribery” cases enforcing the internal controls provisions against issuers
• Confirming that employees in finance and accounting functions — and in higher-risk roles, appreciate their obligations help the company to manage risk
• Correcting inaccurate books and records and confirming that they have a well-documented account of how they addressed any control deficiencies
• Best practices for advising the organization on internal controls; including through legal, compliance and financial perspectives
• Identifying common examples of inadequate internal controls and related program deficiencies to avoid
• Achieving cross-department collaboration to assist in identifying systematic patterns of bribery and lapses in controls

Task Force KleptoCapture: Enforcing Sanctions, Export Restrictions and Economic Countermeasures Levied Against Russian Officials and Oligarchs
On March 2nd, the DOJ announced the creation of the interagency Task Force KleptoCapture (the “Task Force”) to enforce the sanctions, export restrictions, and economic countermeasures against Russian officials and oligarchs in response to the conflict in Ukraine. The formation of the Task Force follows an increased awareness of the destabilizing threat of kleptocracies to national security, as outlined in a June 2021 White House National Security Memorandum that established the fight against corruption as a core national security policy.
The Task Force works cooperatively with the transatlantic task force that President Biden, leaders of the European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Canada announced in February. Where violators cannot be detained, assets will be seized and forfeited; and information will be shared with foreign partners to further assist with the identification and recovery of assets abroad. In this session, our panel of exports will discuss the resources and tools that the Task Force is leveraging for enforcement, such as:
• Access to advanced investigative tools:
» Data analytics
» Cryptocurrency tracing
» Foreign intelligence sources
» Information from financial regulators and private sectors partners
• How the Task Force interacts with other DOJ Departments and other enforcement agencies
• Coordination with the recently established National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team
• Enhanced subpoena authority under the recently enacted AntiMoney Laundering Act of 2020
