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 in the past month, with links to primary resources. For our first installment of 2016, we ask: Which countries fared the best and worst in Transparency International's annual Corruption Perceptions Index? Which OECD member country was the latest to issue guidance on effective compliance programs? What penalties did individuals and companies convicted of anti-bribery offenses in the United States, Brazil, and the UK receive? The answers to these questions and more are here in the January 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.
