The FCPA: An Overview� Anti-Bribery Provision
� Illegal to corruptly offer or provide money or anything of value to officials of foreign governments with intent to obtain or retain
business.
� Applies to “issuers” – any business entity registered under 15 U.S.C.§781 or required to file reports under 17 U.S.C.§780(d).
� Books and Records Provision
� Requires issuers to make and keep accurate books, records, and accounts, which, in “reasonable detail,” accurately and fairly reflect
the issuer’s transactions and disposition of assets.
� There is no materiality threshold and, for civil enforcement by the SEC, no knowledge requirement for an issuer.
� Enforcement actions typically involve either misreporting large bribe payments or widespread inaccurate recording of smaller
payments made as part of a systemic pattern.
� Internal Controls Provision
� Requires that issuers devise and maintain reasonable internal accounting controls aimed at preventing and detecting FCPA
violations.
� Internal controls must provide “reasonable assurance” transactions are properly recorded.
� SEC civil violations do not require knowledge for an issuer.

The FCPA: Recent Developments
� Enforcement Actions in 2015:
� SEC enforcement has stayed more constant, while DOJ enforcement has focused more on individual
defendants.
� No parallel enforcement actions against companies by both DOJ and SEC in 2015.
� DOJ Enforcement Strategy Shifting:
� 10 new prosecutors in DOJ FCPA Unit as of November 2015.
� Refocusing efforts to:
� Encourage corporate cooperation through declinations.
� Pursue individual wrongdoers.
� Pursue high-value corporate enforcement actions.
“A shift in enforcement that targets the worst offenders and
punishes individuals may be a better way to encourage
corporate compliance and make sure only wrongdoers are
punished.”
—Wall Street Journal (Nov. 11, 2015)

UK Bribery Act: An Overview
� Four Separate Offenses:
1. Offering, promising, or giving a bribe to a person (including private parties).
2. Agreeing to receive or accepting a bribe.
3. Offering, promising, or giving a bribe to a foreign government official with the intent to influence the
performance of his or her functions as a public official in order to obtain or retain business or a business
advantage.
4. Failing as a commercial organization to prevent bribery by associated persons.
� Impact of the UKBA:
� Expands the definition of criminal conduct, including a new strict liability offense.
� Expands the range of organizations and individuals subject to U.K. corruption law.
� Increases maximum penalties for violations.
� Criminalizes private commercial bribery.
� Does not require that the bribery of a government official had an improper purpose or corrupt intent.
8
UK Bribery Act: Recent Developments
� First Deferred Prosecution Agreement
� The Serious Fraud Office entered into its first deferred prosecution agreement with ICBC Standard Bank Plc.
� Global payment of $36.9 million.
� $ 4.2 million to settle related civil charges by SEC.
� May signal rise in the enforcement of UKBA.

UK Bribery Act: FCPA v. UKBAProvision FCPA Bribery Act
Who is Covered by the Rules Issuers, domestic concerns and any other persons
who take any act in furtherance of a corrupt
payment while within the territory of the U.S.
U.K. companies, citizens, and residents; non-U.K. nationals and
entities where any act takes place in U.K.; “failure to prevent
bribery” offense applies to any entity that undertakes business in
the U.K., regardless of whether the bribery has a connection to the
U.K.
Active vs. Passive Offenses Only the act of paying or offering a bribe is
prohibited
Active (making/offering a bribe) and passive offenses (accepting a
bribe ) are prohibited.
Recipient of Bribe Only bribes paid or offered to a “foreign official” Bribes paid to any person to induce them to act “improperly”
Corporate Strict Liability For failure to maintain adequate systems of internal
controls
For failure to prevent bribery, subject to defense of having
“adequate procedures” in place
Facilitating Payments Exception for payment to foreign official to expedite
or secure the performance of a routine non-
discretionary government action
No facilitating payments exception
10
UK Bribery Act: FCPA v. UKBA
Both the FCPA and UK Bribery Act reach individuals who do not directly engage in corrupt activities,
but who permit them.
� In addition to persons who bribe or accept bribes, the Bribery Act explicitly provides that senior
officers, including directors, company secretaries, and managers, who “consented or connived” in
any of the offenses set forth in the Act may be held personally liable for that offense.
� In the U.S., the SEC has pursued expansive theories of director and officer liability:
� Civil liability as a “control person” (Nature’s Sunshine, 2009).
� Civil liability for “aiding and abetting,” by failing to implement internal controls (Syncor, 2007).
Many commentators describe the U.K.
Bribery Act as the “FCPA on steroids.”

Global Enforcement Trends� Governments around the world are dedicating more
resources to investigating and prosecuting acts of corruption
and bribery.
� In recent years, many countries have adopted new anti-
corruption legislation, including Brazil, China, and Russia.
� Extensive formal and informal cooperation among countries
is becoming more common, particularly between the U.S.
and EU countries (see Siemens AG case).
� OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and UN Convention Against
Corruption are helping drive the issue.

China: Anti-Corruption Laws
Chinese law punishes both the giving and taking of bribes. Chinese criminal law has provisions criminalizing three types of bribery:
1. Official Bribery: Criminalizes bribery of “state functionaries,” “government organs,” or their close relative or associates – new in 2015. Harsh penalties applicable, including the death penalty. RMB 10,000+ triggers criminal liability for bribery.
2. Commercial Bribery: Criminalizes bribery of “staff of a company or enterprise” and imposes record-keeping obligations. Employers are liable for the acts of their employees. No exception for small facilitating payments.
3. Foreign Bribery: In 2011, China amended its criminal law to criminalize bribery of “any foreign public official or official of an international public organization.”

Russia: Anti-Corruption LawsIn 2011, Russia revamped its anti-corruption laws by adding a tiered system of fines and prison time, and criminalizing the bribery of foreign officials.
� Added the crime of aiding and abetting bribery.
� Foreign official is defined as “any person, whether elected or appointed, that holds any position at the legislative, executive, administrative or judicial body of a foreign state, and any person performing a public function for a foreign state, including any public agency or enterprise.”

Russia: Changing Legal LandscapeKey legislative changes (years 2012-2016):
� Companies operating in Russia are required to take affirmative compliance measures to prevent
corruption in their business.
� Public officials are required to declare and surrender any received gifts of unknown value or exceeding
RUB 3,000 (approx. $46) in value to specifically designated divisions of their government organizations.
� De-offshorization law was passed and entered into force on January 1, 2015.
� Since September 1, 2015, the Data Localization Law amended the Personal Data Law by establishing the
requirement that personal data of Russian citizens must be processed via servers located within the
Russian Federation:
� Implication on location of servers where whistleblower messages are processed.
� Implication related to imaging of local data in the course of an internal investigation.
� As of January 1, 2016, restrictions were implemented on the public procurement of foreign software.
Foreign software will not be listed in a unified register based on which government customers can purchase
software, but will require a prior exception based on a statement by the government customer of why the
restrictions cannot be observed.
22
Russia: Enforcement TrendsAs of January 1, 2013, companies operating in Russia are required to take affirmative compliance measures to prevent corruption in their business.
� Such measures may include, among other activities, designating a department or officer responsible for preventing corruption and other related offenses, cooperating with Russian law enforcement agencies on anti-corruption matters, adopting a code of business ethics, preventing conflicts of interest, and preventing the creation of false, unofficial, or altered business records.
� The Russian Ministry of Labor and Social Protection issued guidance with recommendations in order to ensure a unified approach for preventing and combatting corruption in organizations.
� In August 2014, Transparency International Russia published the report “Transparency of Corporate Reporting and Anti-Corruption Policy in Russian Private Enterprise: Compliance as a Competitive Advantage.” The study investigated the websites and legal documents of 50 Russian companies and holdings, which had been on Forbes’ 2013 “Largest Businesses in Russia” list. The report’s conclusions include the following:
� Neither the Russian government nor private companies are interested in adopting rule-based business practices.
� Russian enforcement agencies may draw attention to fire safety regulations or tax compliance, but remain unwilling to impose stiffer penalties that would force companies to establish anti-corruption compliance programs.
� In most cases, Russian companies themselves do not have a code of ethics or a policy of zero tolerance towards corruption, nor are they keen to publish required declarations.

Brazil: Anti-Corruption Laws
� President Rousseff signed Brazil’s Clean Company Law (No. 12,846/2013) in August 2013. The law:
� Imposes civil sanctions on legal entities that bribe domestic or foreign public officials and holds companies to
strict liability (unlike the FCPA, which requires proof of corrupt intent).
� Imposes harsh sanctions on violators—up to 20% of yearly gross billings and never less than the benefit
gained.
� Gives credit to companies that self-report violations or have strong compliance programs.
� The law became effective as of Jan. 29, 2014.
� However, federal authorities have yet to publish
regulations detailing how it will be enforced.
25
Brazil: 2015 Legislative Developments
� Brazil’s 2015 Clean Company Act:
� Implemented on March 18, 2015, under Decree 8.420/2015.
� Gives Brazil’s Comptroller-General’s Office (“CGU”) jurisdiction over allegations of corruption involving foreign
and Brazilian officials.
� September 2015: CGU released new, non-binding guidelines for compliance programs, with five
“pillars” for corporate integrity programs:
1. Commitment and support from senior management;
2. Adequate authority and autonomy for the compliance function;
3. Creation of company-specific, risk-based integrity program;
4. Structuring of corporate compliance rules and instruments; and
5. Ongoing monitoring and testing of the compliance function.

politics have also been implicated, including the leader of the government coalition in the Senate
and the speaker of the lower house of Congress.
� Several construction companies have signed leniency agreements with Brazilian authorities,
agreeing to cooperate in exchange for a reduction of penalties:
� Camargo Correa agreed in August 2015 to pay a R$104 million (approximately $27.7 million) fine;
� Andrade Gutierrez agreed in November 2015 to pay a R$1 billion fine for conduct involving both Petrobras
and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
� More than construction companies have been impacted: in October 2015, advertising agencies FCB
Brasil and Borghi/Lowe signed a leniency agreement to pay R$50 million for paying a congressman
to steer government contracts to the agencies.

Spotlight on Extractive Industries:
More Stringent Reporting Requirements
� United States: In December 2015, the SEC voted to propose rules that would require resource
extraction issuers to disclose payments made to the U.S. federal government or foreign governments
for the commercial development of oil, natural gas or minerals. Under the proposed rules, this would

A Hypothetical Scenario
� You are the General Counsel of BigCo, a multinational corporation that specializes in selling
equipment for industrial uses to state-owned enterprises around the world. BigCo is listed on the
New York Stock Exchange and is currently under a DPA with DOJ as a result of a bribery case in Asia
that it settled two years ago.
� BigCo has an office in Corruptistan, an oil-rich country on the Eurasian land mass.
� Although Corruptistan is a signatory to the UN Convention Against Corruption and the OECD Anti-
Bribery Convention, it consistently receives poor evaluations from both the OECD Working Group on
Bribery and Transparency International, both of which have stated publicly that government contracts
are permeated with bribery and that law enforcement does more to further corruption than it does
to stop it. According to international human rights organizations, law enforcement officials in
Corruptistan routinely violate human rights and frequently torture suspects in order to force them to
confess.
34
Hypothetical Scenario: The Complaint
� Yesterday, BigCo’s Regional Counsel for EMEA called to tell you that she had received a whistleblower
complaint from an employee in your office in Corruptistan. The employee claimed that the Country
Manager in Corruptistan had paid bribes to local government officials to help BigCo win several multi-
million dollar contracts over the last several years.
� Corruptistan law provides that “any citizen having evidence that a crime has been committed against
the state of Corruptistan must provide such evidence to the appropriate law enforcement authority.”
35
Hypothetical Scenario: The Investigation
� You immediately hire an outside law firm, ABC, to conduct a full investigation. ABC does not have an
office in Corruptistan, but it does have a relationship with a local law firm, several of whose lawyers
also work simultaneously in the General Prosecutor’s Office, an arrangement which is not prohibited
under local law.
� Remember, Corruptistan law provides that “any citizen having evidence that a crime has been
committed against the state of Corruptistan must provide such evidence to the appropriate law
enforcement authority.”
� Also, under the law of Corruptistan, “investigations which may result in criminal prosecution may only
be carried out by duly authorized law enforcement officials in the Republic of Corruptistan, unless
otherwise provided for by the laws of Corruptistan or international treaty obligations of Corruptistan.”
36
13
� Corruptistan law prohibits the processing of personal data “without the express consent of the data
subject.”
� The Country Manager signed a standard BigCo employment contract which provides that “the
employee agrees not to conduct personal business during work hours or on BigCo premises.”
Nevertheless, he refuses to surrender his work computer for imaging by ABC on the grounds that he
frequently uses it for personal correspondence. He says that if the ABC lawyers insist on taking it
from him, he will report them to his friends in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and have them arrested.
Hypothetical Scenario: The Investigation
37
� The whistleblower has stated that the Country Manager paid the bribes with the assistance of Pierre,
the former Sales Manager for Eurasia. Pierre is now working in BigCo’s office in France. He agrees to
turn over his laptop for imaging, but only if ABC agrees to inform the labor union to which he belongs
and only if the labor union agrees that the review of his emails is legal under French law.
� The local Paris office of ABC has informed you that under French law, all employers who process
personal data of their employees must record such processing in a public register.
Hypothetical Scenario: The Investigation
38
Hypothetical Scenario: Taking Action
� After ABC reviewed his emails, which turned out be extremely incriminating, Pierre admitted to the
ABC lawyers that he and the Corruptistan Country Manager paid numerous bribes over several years
to win “approximately ten public contracts” for BigCo. He has agreed to resign his position with the
company and continue to cooperate with the investigation if he is given two years’ severance pay and
if the company agrees to provide him with a good recommendation for any job he subsequently
applies for.
� Corruptistan law provides that no employee may be fired for criminal misconduct unless the
employee (a) admits to the misconduct and signs a confession setting out all the relevant facts of the
misconduct or (b) is convicted of the misconduct in a court of law.
� The Country Manager has agreed to sign a confession, but only if he is given three years’ severance
pay and only if ABC agrees not to report his misconduct to Corruptistan law enforcement.
39
14
Hypothetical Scenario: Reporting
� Corruptistan law also provides that disclosure of sensitive information which may affect the interests
of the government of Corruptistan to a foreign government, without the consent of the government
of Corruptistan, may be criminally prosecuted.
