Industry-Wide Investigations
17
• Medical Device and Pharmaceutical Industry
1. E.g., Biomet, DePuy, Diagnostic Products, Medtronic, Micrus, Smith & Nephew,Stryker, Syncor, Wright Medical, Zimmer Holdings
2. E.g., Eli Lilly, Merck, Astra Zeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline,SciClone

• Telecommunications Industry
− E.g., Alcatel-Lucent, Haiti Teleco, ITXC, Latin Node, Magyar Telekom, Siemens entities, UTStarcom, Veraz
SEC recently launched industry-wide investigation against global financial companiesfocusing on dealings with sovereign wealth funds
Latin America Economic Trends
19
• Countries in Latin America, such as Brazil, Mexico,Colombia, Peru, Chile and others, are attracting globalinvestment because of significant economicopportunities
• The region is viewed as attractive for foreigninvestment
• At the same time, governments are increasing anti-corruption and other enforcement programs to reducecorruption and anti-competitive activities.
Global Perception of Latin America Corruption
21
• Transparency International has reported that 22 ofthe 32 countries in Latin America are perceived tosuffer from high levels of corruption
• This problem of corruption goes hand in hand withthe high level of inequity that has not beenovercome by the economic growth experienced bythe region in the last few years.
• Weak government institutions, low levels ofgovernance and the influence of particularinterests negatively affect efforts to promoteequitable and sustainable human development.
International Efforts to Reduce Corruption
22
• Nearly all Organization of American States (OAS)member states have signed and ratified two key legalinstruments that provide a foundation for preventingcorruption: the Inter-American Convention againstCorruption and the UN Convention against Corruption.
• Most signatory countries have joined the follow-upmechanism of the Inter-American Convention, afundamental step for the treaty to become trulyeffective.
• Member states have generally been slow to implementmeaningful reforms and enforcement program
Level of Anti-Corruption Enforcement
23
• Improvement of Anti-Corruption Laws Applicable toCompanies
• International pressure to reform laws to comply withinternational treaty obligations
• Slowly, countries have been increasing enforcementefforts with new tools provided by new laws
• Dissemination of Compliance Culture among Companies
• The Level of Enforcement is Likely to Increase, but at aSlow Pace
Designing and Implementing an Anti-corruption Compliance Program
• FCPA was first enacted in 1977 but it has acquired new vigorin the post-SOX environment.
• The FCPA consists of civil and criminal penalties
• The FCPA has two parts:
1. The anti-bribery provisions
2. The books and records/internal controls provisions (applies to"U.S. issuers")
FCPA Violations
Who is liable under the FCPA?
26
Domestic
• All US “issuers” and private companies (“domestic concerns”)
• Any US corporation or national or any foreign bribery-related conduct
• US citizens or foreign nationals operating in the US or usinginstrumentalities
Foreign
• Foreign corporations subject to SEC regulation (e.g., via ADRs) and usinginstrumentalities
• All foreign persons when in US territory, whether or not they useinstrumentalities of interstate commerce
Includes directors, officers, employees, and agents of entitiessubject to the statute
Elements of an FCPA Violation
27
Accounting /Recordkeeping Provisions:
Under the books andrecords provisions, issuersmust keep accurate booksand records and maintainadequate internal controls.
Anti-Bribery Provisions
28
“It is a crime for any U.S. Person or Company to directly orindirectly pay or promise money or anything of value to anyforeign official to obtain or retain business or any otherimproper advantage.”
Money or Anything of Value
• Cash
• Gifts (such as expensive meals, wines, merchandizingwith the Company logo)
• Services
• Travel expenses
• Business Opportunities; Advantages; Changes in law.
• Bribe need not to be paid ― the promise of a bribe is also illegal.
• The terms “obtaining or retaining business” or any“improper advantage” are construed very broadly.
Foreign Official
• Government officials and employees
• Political party candidates and employees
• Employees of government controlled companies orinstrumentalities
• Employees of public international organizations
• Any others in an official capacity (including honorarypositions)
State Owned Enterprises
31
• A “foreign official” includes any officer or employeeof a non-U.S. government, and any officer oremployee of “any department, agency, orinstrumentality” of a non-U.S. government.
• FCPA applies to interactions between businessesand state-owned companies owned by foreigngovernments (e.g. Ecopetrol in Colombia)
• To determine whether employees of a state-ownedenterprise are “foreign officials”, SEC and DOJconsider the percentage of government ownershipin the enterprise and the amount of control thenon-U.S. government exerts over the entity inquestion.
Knowledge and Intent
• It is unlawful to make a payment to any third partywhile “knowing” that all or a portion of such paymentwill go directly or indirectly to a foreign official.
• “Knowledge” is broader than “actual knowledge,” andincludes “conscious disregard” and “willful ignorance.”
• “Firm belief” that an illegal payment is “substantiallycertain to occur.”
• Any third party – Agents; consultants; contractors;representatives; partners in a joint venture; subsidiaries
1. KBR (2009)
Civil Penalties
33
• In the civil context, the SEC and DOJ can impose a$10,000 fine per violation upon individuals andcompanies.
• The SEC may also impose further civil penalties rangingbetween $7,500 to $150,000 upon individuals and$75,000 to $725,000 upon companies.
• Alternatively, the SEC may impose a civil penalty equalto the gross pecuniary gain to an individual or companyand equitable relief, such as disgorgement of profits.
Criminal Penalties
34
• For companies, criminal violations can result in:− $2 million fine for an anti-bribery violation; and− $25 million fine for a books and records violation.
• Individuals face up to:− 5 years in jail with a maximum $250,000 fine
for an anti-bribery violation; and− up to 20 years in jail with a maximum $5 million fine
for a books and records violation.
• Under a federal alternative fine provision, companies andindividuals may be fined up to twice the benefit sought orreceived.
Exceptions and Affirmative Defenses
• It is NOT a defense that “everyone else is doing it.”
• This, unfortunately, can give a sense of false security,but will provide absolutely no protection in the eventthe underlying activities are not in compliance.
• Use thoughtful common sense, and don’t be lulled intothinking it’s OK because “That’s the way XX does it” or“Its always been done that way here in XXX.”
Affirmative Defenses:
36
Reasonable Bona Fide Marketing and PromotionPayments and Payments Authorized Under WrittenLanguage of the Foreign County
• Reasonable and bona fide expenditures, such as travel and lodgingexpenses directly related to (A) the promotion, demonstration, orexplanation of products or services, or (B) the execution or performanceof a contract with a foreign government or performances of a contractwith a foreign government or agency thereof.
• Travel expenses to United States (FCPA Op. Proc. Rel. 07-01)
• Product samples for testing (FCPA Op. Proc. Rel. 09-01)
• Journalist stipends (FCPA Op. Proc. Rel. 08-03)
• Trips to tourist destinations (US v. Metcalf & Eddy, Inc)
UTStarcom Incorporated (2009)
37
• Arranged and paid employees of Chinese state-ownedtelecommunications companies to travel to populartourist destinations in the United States, includingHawaii, Las Vegas and New York City, and makingimproper payments to consultants in China andMongolia while knowing that they would be used topay bribes to foreign government officials.
• UTSI voluntarily disclosed the violations, and agreed topay a $1.5 million penalty to the DOJ, plus $1.5 millionto the SEC.
Exception:
• Facilitating or Expediting Payments
1. Small payments for the purpose of expediting or securing theperformance of a routine AND non-discretionary governmentalaction (something for which the Payor is already entitled).
2. Facilitating payments need to be properly recorded and identified assuch.
3. Facilitating payments are usually illegal under local laws.
4. Vetco Gray – average $5,550 (378 payments in 2 years = $2.1M)
• Current trend/Best practices: limit facilitating payments tolife threatening situations or eliminate completely.
Mergers and Acquisitions:Buying an FCPA Violation
39
• Acquiring company can buy liability for FCPAviolations which occurred prior to the acquisitionunless the acquiring company conducts a “duediligence” review.
• Due diligence review will identify the past FCPAviolations and the target might need to make adisclosure to the Justice Department.
• Companies will have to address past FCPA violations:change in price, structure, additional warranties andindemnifications; deal could terminate or bedelayed.
• Similar procedure occurs in joint ventures.
UK Bribery Act Basics
41
• Two general offenses forbribing or taking a bribe
• A discrete offense ofbribing a foreign publicofficial
• A new corporate offensefor failure to preventbribery
UK Bribery Act:Corporation’s Failure to Prevent Bribery
42
• Person associated with a commercial organization bribes another:
1. The term “associated persons” includes any person who “performs services for oron behalf of the relevant commercial organisation” – and may includesubsidiaries, employees, agents, JV partners, consortium members.
• Defense to liability if the commercial organization has “adequateprocedures” to prevent such bribery from occurring:
1. A “commercial organization” includes UK entities and thosecompanies and partnerships incorporated or formed overseas that “carry on abusiness or part of a business in the UK.”
• The bribery may occur anywhere in the world – a conviction forbribery in the local jurisdiction is not required.
UK Bribery Act: Delay in Implementation
43
• UK Bribery Act effective date of April 2011 recently delayed forsecond time until guidance is issued (3-month lag betweenguidance and effective date).
• UK government is conducting “review” of law because of UKbusiness complaints.
• UK prosecutors have stated they intend to aggressively enforcethe Act against global companies “doing business” in UK.
• Guidance on “adequate procedures” defense and prosecutionpolicies are supposed to be issued three months before neweffective date.

FCPA Bribery ActDistinctions:
The Risks ofFCPA and UK Bribery Act Enforcement Action
45
• DOJ intends to increase “joint” enforcement actions; willcoordinate information sharing and enforcement actions.
• No company wants to be the “guinea pig” for initial UKBribery Act enforcement actions.
• Companies need to review and revise FCPA complianceprograms to address Bribery Act.
• Enforcement and interpretation of Bribery Act will be dynamicand require companies to keep up with requirements.

1. Review the creation of relationship, or any subsequent changes toresponsibilities or countries where agent operates.
2. Establish procedure for centralized review of contracts to ensureconsistent standards.
3. Depending on size of company, should establish review at highestlevel within the company.
• Develop a Different Screening Procedures for Review ofIndividual Transactions.
Guidelines for Due Diligence Process
59
• Do not over-standardize procedure.1. Need to tailor to individual circumstances in each country based on
risk.

• Red flags are facts and circumstances that raise seriousquestions of an FCPA violation.
• Companies which ignore red flags run the risk of FCPAenforcement actions, criminal fines and the need for costlyremedial measures.
• A red flag only means that further scrutiny is warranted.
Red Flag Procedure
62

informing agents and business partners of the company’s commitment to follow thelaws against foreign bribery and of thestandards, procedures and other measuresthe company has in place to detect andprevent bribery; and
seeking a reciprocal commitment from agents and business partners.
Elements of a program that stands up to the Justice Department:
Bullet point 12:
Include standard provisions in agreements andcontracts with agents and business partnersthat are designed to prevent violations of theanti-corruption laws. These provisions mightinclude, depending on the circumstances:
anti-corruption representations and undertakings;
rights for the company to conduct audits of the books and records of the agent ofbusiness partner;
