Mergers and the FCPA

Foley Of Counsel Gregory Husisian authored an article that appeared in the August 2011 issue of Aftermarket Business titled "Mergers and the FCPA." Husisian provides an overview of steps that companies can take to mitigate FCPA risks raised by mergers and acquisitions. He explains that proper due diligence inquiries can help acquiring companies determine the risk of an acquisition, minimize liability for past conduct and identify future compliance issues. Husisian adds that an acquirer should take immediate steps to integrate the acquired company into its own FCPA compliance program.
