Session 1: Keeping Up with the Changing Corruption Landscape
The past year has seen significant policy developments that impact the corruption landscape worldwide. DOJ announced a new policy regarding FCPA enforcement, economic sanctions and trade embargo policy has undergone significant change, the tariffs landscape seems to change almost daily, and government priorities related to money laundering continue to morph. This panel will explore these developments, what they mean for business, and the increasing value of investment in compliance.

Session 2: Focus China: Great Rewards, Great Risk

China provides fertile soil for great business opportunities and commensurate risks.  FCPA risks remain high, with state owned or controlled companies doing business with U.S. private enterprises.  China remains in the top two countries generating FCPA-related investigations.  Along with that is the constant threat of commercial bribery, theft of soft assets, running afoul of China regulations, and tariff reprisal.  In short, China is a wonderful, complex country offering great risks.  This Panel will address those opportunities and risks, offer suggestions for confronting those risks, and examine the influence of Chinese culture on internal investigations.
