In this episode I have back fan fav Mike Volkov. We break down the recently released Fresenius FCPA enforcement action. Some of the highlights from the podcast include:

• A detailed discuss of the underlying facts.
• What were the bribery schemes? Some old and some new but every compliance professional should study them.
• How and why did Fresenius let the conduct go on for so long.
• How was the company able to garner a NPA?
• How did the company obtain its 40% discount for its fine and penalties?
• Why was a monitor required?
• What are the lessons learned from this enforcement action?
