Leading Professionals to Teach About Corporate & Regulatory Compliance Boot Camp – Part 1

Financial Poise Webinars™ announces “Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Compliance,” a live webinar premiering March 28th at 1:00 PM CST. This webinar is co-produced by West LegalEdCenter™ and part of the “Corporate & Regulatory Compliance Boot Camp 2023 – Part 1” series. It will feature Rafael Zahralddin-Aravena (Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP); Guillermo Christensen (K&L Gates LLP); and Stephanie Bustamante (ChampionX).

This webinar covers the basics of the FCPA, including an introduction to the regulators, both the SEC and DOJ, and recent communications to the public regarding the FCPA from these regulatory bodies.

The Federal Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) prohibits a U.S. company or person from bribing foreign government officials to obtain a business advantage. Along with this seemingly simple restriction comes accounting and record keeping requirements with which companies must comply. The FCPA requires the implementation of a compliance program which addresses FCPA concerns and establishes an FCPA corporate policy. This webinar covers the basics of the FCPA, including an introduction to the regulators, both the SEC and DOJ, and recent communications to the public regarding the FCPA from these regulatory bodies. The standards for a compliance program review are analyzed, including what makes a program current and effective as well as how often the program requires review. The role of a compliance coordinator is discussed, as is record keeping, training, and retaliation. Finally, meals and entertainment, gifts, travel, charitable contributions, and hiring are all discussed with reference to recent government actions and legal decisions.
