Session five: Trump, the FCPA and the future of global anti-corruption enforcement
Tuesday 10 February (1145 - 1300)
Description
The Trump administration’s reported suspension of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement has sparked debate over the future of global anti-corruption efforts. Long regarded as the driving force behind international enforcement standards, the FCPA’s slowdown raises questions about whether other jurisdictions – including the Brazil, France, the UK and key Asian economies – will step in to fill the gap. This session will explore the political context, the potential shift in global enforcement leadership and the implications for multinational companies navigating an evolving cross-border compliance landscape.
