This interactive breakfast seminar will cover key developments in anti-corruption enforcement during 2014 and predictions for 2015, with a focus on industries and markets under particular scrutiny by regulators and prosecutors. By examining both real-world cases and hypothetical scenarios, participants will learn about the latest issues and best practices in major areas of compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and the UK Bribery Act.
