In an effort to identify frequently recurring areas of FCPA risk for companies that conduct business in foreign markets, Protiviti undertook a systematic review of publicly available information regarding 286 criminal and civil cases and settlements announced by the U.S. Department of Justice and SEC from 1986 to March 2010. The information gleaned can help company managers and directors to understand better which activities may attract the attention of federal regulators and law enforcement–and may help enhance the monitoring of corruption risk in hot spots around the world.
