On July 22, I will be moderating a webcast on a very interesting topic: the rapid evolution of anti-corruption enforcement globally, beyond the FCPA. Indeed, there have been numerous recent developments in this area, including the passage of the UK Bribery Act, the roll out of OECD Good Practice Guidelines, and even notable developments last month in Canada. Regulatory agencies are transitioning from tacit disregard of corruption-related crimes to active enforcement of laws on the books – often for years – with stricter rules and harsher fines.

In this webcast, David Childers, President & CEO of EthicsPoint, and Neill Blundell, Partner & Head of Fraud Group, will discuss:

•The growth of regulatory pressure internationally;

•Important distinctions between the UK Anti-Bribery Act and the FCPA, especially as they pertain to multinational corporations;

•Increasing scrutiny and enforcement of long latent laws;

•Implications and timing of self-disclosure;

•Status within the Serious Fraud Office (UK) toward promulgation of the Anti-Bribery Act

Please join us to address these issues, your questions and more in this free webcast scheduled for Thursday, July 22, at 7 a.m. Pacific/ 10 a.m. Eastern/ 2 p.m. GMT.
