WHITE COLLAR CRIME
Anti-Corruption Law and Compliance:
Guide to the FCPA and Beyond
By Kevin T. Abikoff, John F. Wood, and
Michael H. Huneke
An invaluable resource for legal and compliance
professionals at multinational corporations.
Anti-Corruption Law and Compliance: Guide to the
FCPA and Beyond reviews the origins, meaning, and
applications of U.S. and selected foreign anti-corruption
laws, focusing on the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
(FCPA). Anti-corruption enforcement in the United States continues to be robust.
Ever-increasing enforcement by other countries creates considerable challenges
for businesses facing allegations, investigations, or prosecutions in multiple
jurisdictions.
Additionally, the U.S. government’s focus on the prosecution of individuals as
well as corporations makes this book’s detailed review of the FCPA’s specific
provisions and elements essential reading for attorneys representing individuals
or businesses facing investigation or prosecution.
Important topics discussed in this treatise include:
• U.S. enforcement activity, including analysis of the Department of
Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission FCPA Resource
Guide
• Anti-corruption enforcement in Brazil, motivated in part by anticorruption
sentiment amidst massive public procurement projects
• U.K. anti-corruption enforcement and the U.K. Bribery Act
• World Bank and other international financial institution anticorruption
enforcement, soon after the World Bank decided to
undertake a self-assessment of its anti-corruption program and to
make its Sanctions Board’s decisions public
