Anti-corruption compliance and enforcement has never been more on the minds of businesses operating in China. For US based companies and companies with a US nexus, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") must be a particular concern for boards and business executives.
Charles Duross, a partner in Morrison & Foerster LLP's Washington DC office, served until recently as the head of the FCPA unit in the Criminal Division of the US Department of Justice. In that role, Mr. Duross was in charge of all criminal FCPA investigations, prosecutions and resolutions in the United States from 2010 through January 2014. Because of his work with law enforcement agencies across the globe, including China's Ministry of Supervision, the Tokyo Public Prosecutor's Office, Indonesia's Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (Corruption Eradication Commission), and Thailand's National Anti-Corruption Commission, Mr. Duross is well-versed in not only US government enforcement efforts, but also in international and cooperative efforts to combat corruption globally, especially in Asia.

In this seminar, Mr. Duross will share his unique insight into current issues and trends in anti-corruption enforcement and compliance. Among other items, Mr. Duross will address:
• Recent developments and likely trends in FCPA enforcement, with a focus on China.
• The basis for FCPA jurisdiction over non-U.S. companies and people doing business outside the U.S.
• What to do when FCPA problems are discovered in the course of an M&A transaction.
• The resources and investigative techniques available to enforcement agencies when investigating corrupt conduct.
• Increasing international efforts in enforcing anti-corruption laws.
• How to implement compliance programs to mitigate risk when pursuing business opportunities in challenging markets and reduce possible scrutiny from U.S. law enforcement.
• The "Compliance Cluster" – the other compliance issues that frequently accompany corruption issues, including violation of competition laws, embezzlement, fraud, kickbacks, and self-dealing.
• Likely consequences from self-reporting FCPA violations, and from failing to do so.
