White Collar Litigation and Corporate Governance Alert: DOJ and SEC Issue Much-Anticipated FCPA Guidance
On November 14, 2012, the Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") released their much-anticipated joint guidance on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), available at www.justice.gov/criminal/fraud/fcpa/guidance (the "Guide"). The FCPA sets forth very broad prohibitions on corrupt payments to foreign government officials, which the DOJ and the SEC have been aggressively interpreting and enforcing in recent years. The dense 120-page resource guide replaces the DOJ's far more basic 6-page "lay person's guide to the FCPA," which was helpful in breaking down the FCPA provisions, but did not offer guidance on the enforcement practices surrounding the Act.
