Inhaltsangabe

As businesses continue to expand globally into new and emerging markets, bribery and corruption risks have increased exponentially. Bribery and Corruption offers a comprehensive look at this growing problem, and at the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other international anti-bribery and corruption conventions. Presenting hypothetical examples of situations companies will face, along with practical solutions, the book offers detailed global guidance on a region and country-specific basis.
 
The FCPA prohibits US companies and their subsidiaries from bribing foreign officials, either directly or indirectly through intermediaries, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. It also requires companies to keep accurate records of all business transactions and maintain an effective system of internal accounting controls. Internationally, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD's) anti-bribery convention has been adopted by 38 countries and creates legally binding standards related to bribery of foreign public officials.
 
Written by renowned accounting fraud experts Richard A. Sibery and Brian P. Loughman, and providing an introduction and overview of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and international bribery laws, Bribery and Corruption considers:
* How to conduct FCPA risk assessments and investigations
* How to consider FCPA specific financial controls
* How to implement an FCPA compliance program and how to measure FCPA compliance
 
The risk of bribery and corruption continues to be an area of concern for companies around the world, but armed with Bribery and Corruption, it is easier than ever to understand the challenges that exist and how to deal with them.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

International business expansion has brought with it countless new challenges, few as alarming as the exponential growth of bribery and corruption risks. As companies move into new and emerging markets, fraud follows right behind. In response, U.S. and foreign governments have been forced to devise their own means of counteracting threats to their businesses abroad. In Bribery and Corruption: Navigating the Global Risks, fraud experts Brian Loughman and Richard Sibery take an in-depth look at the problem, its implications, what anti-bribery and corruption conventions really do, and how to stay out of trouble.
 
Beginning with an introduction to anti-bribery and corruption legislation both in the United States and around the world, the book focuses on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)--which explicitly prohibits U.S. companies and those directly involved with them from bribing foreign officials in order to obtain business opportunities--as well as other pieces of legislation limiting foreign bribery and corruption, such as the UK Bribery Act. Looking at compliance programs, risk assessment, anti-corruption due diligence, and considerations for fraud risk on a region-by-region basis, the book provides a comprehensive look at anti-bribery and corruption policies.
 
Presenting real-life examples of the challenges facing businesses abroad, as well as practical advice on how to respond, the book focuses on establishing an anti-corruption compliance program
 
and fostering a strong ethical environment through focused internal controls, training, and monitoring. It discusses how to respond to common corruption challenges, appropriately investigate issues, and mitigate corruption concerns.
 
Designed to help businesspeople understand relevant anti-bribery and corruption legislation, enforcement issues, and how to effectively manage the risks associated with doing business abroad, Bribery and Corruption explains how to stay out of trouble, identify threats, work with new regulations and practices, and keep bribery and corruption at bay.

Aus dem Klappentext

Praise for BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION
 
"Bribery and other forms of corruption are among the greatest risks concerning audit committee members and board members in general of multinational corporations. This book provides excellent, practical advice to those board members in overseeing effective risk management programs and dealing with specific problems when they occur."
--Dennis R. Beresford, Professor of Accounting, University of Georgia, current or former audit committee chairman of five public corporations, and former Financial Accounting Standards Board Chairman
 
"Bribery and Corruption: Navigating the Global Risks is an excellent resource for compliance, audit, and litigation support practitioners. The book provides an exceptional overview of relevant global anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations as well as specific guidance to help ensure compliance with these laws. Additionally, the book provides comprehensive coverage of anti-corruption programs and controls, including policies and procedures, risk assessment processes, and effective due diligence programs. This book is a must-read for those involved with the prevention, detection, or investigation of bribery and corruption as the authors provide a practical approach to resolving such complex issues as the FCPA and commercial bribery, and other forms of corrupt activities."
--Paul E. Zikmund, Senior Director, Forensic Audit, Tyco International
 
"Bribery and Corruption: Navigating the Global Risks should be on the shelf of every CEO of a multinational company and every lawyer advising them. The authors provide excellent historical perspective on the recent anti-bribery mania, highly useful guidance for professionals designing compliance programs, and a road map for companies and their lawyers who are investigating possible corruption or considering an acquisition abroad. It's a very thoughtful resource."
--Aaron R. Marcu, Partner, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, and former federal prosecutor
 
"With ever increasing investment and development in the emerging markets, there is an inherent need for understanding the specific risks facing companies as they move across borders. The level of detail that Ernst & Young provides in this book on regional and country-specific trends and activity presents attorneys in varying jurisdictions with a powerful resource in guiding their clients into new geographies. As an attorney in an emerging market, I found the information extremely valuable and believe this book is an essential read for any anti-bribery and corruption practitioner."
