Please join us for a Foley Executive Briefing Series program, which will provide an overview of the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, and the laws’ many complexities. The program also will include discussion of the following:
- The current state of FCPA enforcement, including a discussion of recent reports that enforcement authorities are targeting major banks, such as Goldman Sachs, in connection with investments into sovereign wealth funds.
- The expanding jurisdiction of the SEC over hedge funds and private equity firms. These changes will have broad compliance implications, including bringing many of these firms under the scope of the SEC’s FCPA enforcement efforts.
- The reasons a strong a FCPA compliance program makes sense for private equity firms from a business perspective. FCPA compliance problems not only can decrease the value of a target company as the result the extraordinary fines and penalties, but also may significantly impact a target company’s bottom line by drastically disrupting operations.
- The steps private equity firms and hedge funds should take to bolster their FCPA compliance internally, as well as when conducting due diligence of investment targets with international operations.
These topics will be addressed in an interactive panel session led by Foley Partner David W. Simon, Senior Counsel A. Michael Primo, and Associate John B. Wynn.
For questions about registering, please contact Diana Mathis at dmathis@foley.com.
The Rising Storm: Private Equity and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is part of the Foley Executive Briefing Series. Learn more about programs in the series at Foley.com/FEBS.
