We visit on the current state of compliance through the lens of recent Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement actions and the Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs, 2019 Guidance, consider some of the specific issues in compliance for private equity and the increased importance of compliance in the healthcare industry. It is a comprehensive look at state of compliance at the half-year mark of 2019. We have previously considered how compliance programs might be updated based upon lessons learned in recent FCPA enforcement actions, then we considered the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) recent guidance on corporate compliance. In Part IV, we consider unique challenges for private equity companies in compliance; both in their organizations and for their portfolio companies.
