Legal Alert: FCPA Resource Guide Issued

Executive Summary: On November 14, 2012, the Criminal Division of the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Enforcement Division of the United States Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued “A Resource Guide to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act” (the “Guide”). Although not binding on the DOJ or SEC, the Guide is very useful in detailing the agencies’ enforcement approaches, interpretations and priorities.
