505			_aSummary: The all-new Practicing Under the U.S. Anti-Corruption Laws provides the practical guidance you need to advise your clients on all major U.S. anti-corruption laws in one, easy to use volume. With comprehensive coverage of the representation process from planning the prevention and compliance program through internal and governmental investigation, enforcement, and post-investigation compliance, Practicing Under the U.S. Anti-Corruption Laws includes all the information you need to ensure that your client stays in compliance. In recent years, the DOJ and SEC have ramped up their anti-corruption enforcement efforts dramatically. It is now more important than ever for companies subject to the FCPA to ensure they have robust anti-corruption compliance programs and effective tools for addressing government investigations. The FCPA applies to: All public companies All U.S. companies Many foreign companies U.S. citizens working anywhere in the world Foreign citizens working for U.S. companies Foreign citizens working for foreign companies that trade on a U.S. exchange Third parties that act on behalf of an entity subject to the statute. Moreover, DOJ and SEC have made it a priority to: Pursue criminal and civil charges against individuals as well as companies Pursue foreign companies, even where that company is under investigation by another country (e.g., Siemens) Impose substantial monetary penalties of tens of millions and in some cases hundreds of millions of dollars Develop cases without relying on voluntary disclosures; and Target particular industries (e.g., technology and medical device companies, as well as companies participating in the UN Iraq Oil-for-Food Program). This expansion has made anti-corruption compliance a focus of all companies subject to the FCPA and has heightened the need for sound guidance on implementing compliance programs, reporting violations, dealing with government investigations, and conducting adequate due diligence to ensure compliance of target companies in mergers and acquisitions.
