In today's global business landscape, compliance with the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is paramount, whether your company conducts international business or relies on international suppliers. Join this CPE session on FCPA enforcement trends and recent cases to stay ahead in the ever-evolving compliance arena.

Our comprehensive overview begins with an analysis of enforcement statistics, revealing the current landscape of FCPA cases – how many are ongoing, and how many have recently concluded. Delve into the dynamic world of enforcement, including the intriguing inclusion of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in FCPA enforcement efforts.

Explore a curated selection of recent cases, taking a "shallow dive" into the latest alterations to "Attachment C" – the component of FCPA settlements that delineates ongoing compliance obligations for corporate entities settling with the US Department of Justice (DoJ) and Securities Exchange Commission (SEC).

To cap it off, embark on a concise tour of key FCPA compliance elements, accompanied by a discussion of valuable sources of information for compliance and audit professionals. We will cover a range of resources, from official US government publications (e.g., the SEC/DOJ FCPA Resource Guide, DOJ Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Program memo March 2023 update, and more) to relevant academic and industry portals.

This online session will be facilitated by Pete Viksnins, an esteemed FCPA investigations and compliance professional with extensive experience. He also serves as an adjunct faculty member at The George Washington University, co-teaching a Fraud and forensics course to Masters of Accountancy students. Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to enhance your knowledge and compliance expertise.

Does your organization have an established contractual right-to-audit in your purchasing and vendor contracts? 

Auditing vendors and suppliers are critical to deterring and detecting fraud. Doing this ensures that your organization is being treated equitably and is not a victim of fraud.  

This course will help you to develop a solid foundation for vendor audits. This includes crucial information like identifying which vendors to target, how to prepare for a vendor audit, how to identify, gather and audit relevant vendor documentation, and common vendor fraud schemes to look for.

Additionally, conducting frequent audits puts your business partners on notice that you have a culture of compliance that doesn’t wait until there are problems to invoke audit clauses

I was very impressed with the first 2 hrs of this event. However, I thought I was signing up for 4 hrs. After the two hours was completed I was never able to log back in. I was told the event started at 11:30 and it was already 2:30.

The fraud conference was very informative. From the invite, I was expecting a 4-hour session. But there were only two one-hour sessions. Not sure where the disconnect was. The calendar reminder reserved 4 hours.

Overall, the class ran smoothly. Some participants seemed to have an issue getting the polling questions. I had no issue with the course. I only had issues trying to get customer assistance to get my completion certificate. No phone number given on a website or an email gets you to a person. I tried chat and it took 30 minutes to get connected to a live agent. By then, I had already sent an email. They did respond promptly to the mail with detailed instructions.
