Compliance with the Foreign Corruption Practices Act (FCPA) is one the greatest risk exposures companies face in doing business across the globe. There is more to FCPA than just legal conjecture and “what if” scenarios. There is a material impact being felt by many global companies as federal authorities step up their FCPA enforcement actions. Anti-bribery enforcement is on the rise and penalties are growing, with hefty fines being doled out by the millions. Data analytics are one of the most powerful ways to validate the completeness and accuracy of books and records, providing an invaluable early warning system against bribery and corruption. In this webinar, FCPA compliance and Data Analytics experts will outline best practices for incorporating analytics into your FCPA compliance program, and offer real-world success stories and key lessons learned. Attendees will also learn where and how to get started with common tests for identifying non-compliant activities, and how to prioritize and take a targeted approach to compliance.
After attending this webinar you will be able to:
Understand how to identify and mitigate FCPA risk exposures at your company
Discover current and emerging trends in technology that allow pro-active risk exposure management
Understand how to continuously monitor company data for suspicious FCPA activities
