The Evolution and Challenges of Global Anti-Corruption Efforts

September 11, 2017

With the current layer-upon-layer of international regulations, where do multi-national companies start in order to remain compliant and avoid fines when under investigation?

Frances McLeod, one of FRA's founding partners, discusses with Richard Bistrong, contributing editor of the FCPA blog and CEO of Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC, the global challenges of anti-bribery enforcement and the impact those initiatives have had on compliance programs and the local demand for bribes.

Frances speaks about the trend in globalization of enforcement; how the growing pressure to confirm has moved down the food chain and how even though regulatory laws may not be harmonized, cooperation amongst prosecutors is on the increase.

Watch Frances and Richard's 15-minute discussion here.
