The second quarter of 2012 brought several important developments in anti-corruption enforcement in the United States and elsewhere, as discussed in our Summer 2012 alert.  The Miller & Chevalier FCPA and International Anti-Corruption Group discussed these events and their consequences for anti-corruption compliance.  The one-hour session included a discussion of the following recent developments:

• Enforcement Actions and Trends
• An effective compliance program leads to an official declination
• New compliance program elements becoming standard
• Importance of close collaboration between in-house teams and external counsel become apparent in the M&A due diligence context 
• Access to monitor reports becomes a new battleground  
• Developments regarding FCPA-related whistleblower claims in Federal court
• Monitoring potential for significant changes to the FCPA enforcement landscape
