Fcpa Compliance Report

In the Episode, I have back Philip Urofsky, a partner at Shearman & Sterling and editor of the firm’s FCPA Digest. Urofsky joins me to discuss the 2020 FCPA Digest and where anti-corruption enforcement may be headed in 2021.  Some of the highlights include: Intro of the Shearman and Sterling FCPA Digest. What is it? How is compiled and produced? 2020 saw total sanctions of approximately $8.24 billion, making 2020 a record-shattering year in terms of quantum of FCPA enforcement penalties.
