In order to provide an overview for busy in-house counsel and compliance professionals, we summarize below some of the most important international anti-corruption developments from the past month, with links to primary resources. This month we ask: Which country hosted a first-ever international anti-corruption summit? What new anti-corruption legislation has DOJ proposed? Which court dealt the SEC a serious setback when it comes to disgorgement, and what does the IRS have to say about the deductibility of disgorgement payments? What is the SFO up to these days? And who is the newest FCPA Unit Assistant Chief? The answers to these questions and more are here in our May 2016 Top Ten list.
Because of the generality of this update, the information provided herein may not be applicable in all situations and should not be acted upon without specific legal advice based on particular situations.
