Compliance into the Weeds: Changes in FCPA Enforcement

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Are you seeking insightful perspectives on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss the recent memorandum from the Deputy Attorney General regarding the investigation and enforcement of the FCPA.

The memo follows President Trump’s executive order pausing FCPA enforcement for six months. The hosts evaluate the potential impacts on compliance programs, with a possible shift to targeting foreign companies that harm US business interests and national security. They also explore the role of the Foreign Extortion Prevention Act and speculate on how the SEC might integrate these changes into its enforcement practices.

Key highlights:

  • Initial Reactions to the FCPA Memo
  • Implications for Anti-Corruption Compliance
  • Focus on Foreign Companies and National Security
  • Skepticism and Potential Bias in Enforcement
  • Strategic National Interests and Enforcement
  • Considerations for Compliance Officers
