FCPA Compliance Program Essentials: Step-by-Step Guidance on How to Implement the Building Blocks of an Effective Program (Featuring an Interactive Policy Document Exchange)

Implementing a robust FCPA compliance program is a critical part of mitigating intensifying risks. Not only is it essential for reducing the risk of violations and government prosecutions, but it also promotes ethical conduct within your company and supply chain, fosters the expansion of your business, and can serve as a competitive edge.

With recent updates to the DOJ’s Corporate Compliance Programs Guidance signaling an increase in agency expectations and oversight, it is more important than ever that companies take the necessary steps to ensure they have an effective compliance program in place.

This comprehensive, interactive workshop will set forth the building blocks of an effective FCPA compliance program and the key hurdles to implementation. In addition to asking your most burning questions, you will benefit from speaker-prepared reference materials and "closed door" discussions.

Topic will include:

• Conducting a risk assessment to analyze your company’s infrastructure and data for compliance

• Mapping out the potential risk contact points that exist throughout the company

• Creating your compliance team: Clearly defining the job descriptions and responsibilities of those devoted to implementing the ABC program at all levels, and across all company functions

• Customizing your FCPA compliance program to your risk profile

• Implementing and maintaining internal controls

Marnee Rand Trial Attorney - Corporate Enforcement, Compliance, and Policy Unit Fraud Section
