Fcpa Compliance Report

In this episode, I was pleased to visit with Fry Wernick and Mike Ward, both partners at Vinson & Elkins. We dissect the three biggest anticorruption enforcement actions: Airbus, J&F Investments and Goldman Sachs. Fry explains things from the government perspective and Mike takes a look at things from the in-house CCO or compliance professional perspective. Their collective insights were great and I know you will enjoy this episode:  I.  Airbus DOJ Perspective In this case, the UK and France took the lead in the investigation? What does this mean workload wise in the FCPA unit? There were claims other than FCPA violations investigated by the US. How, if at all, did those impact the FCPA investigation. What are some of the unique challenges in working with French prosecutors and theFrench blocking statute. How does the DOJ work thru the gross penalty with other countries? Company Perspective What does this case tell a compliance professional? What was the bribery scheme? What is the MO of the bad guys?
