Foley & Lardner LLP attorneys David Simon and John Korba discuss how companies can assess and manage the risks of entering high-risk markets on the Compliance Podcast Network episode, “FCPA Compliance Report: Managing Compliance and National Security Risks When Doing Business in the DRC, Part 1.”
The speakers outline a structured, risk-based approach to evaluating travel and operations in regions such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, addressing national security, sanctions, and supply chain considerations.
While noting ongoing governance and logistics challenges, they highlight growing opportunities beyond mining, including power, logistics, finance, technology, entertainment, and education, while emphasizing persistent infrastructure and bankability constraints.
The full episode is available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and a recording can be viewed on YouTube. Simon and Korba continue the conversation in Part 2 of the podcast, available here.
