Laws mirror each other more than they differ Social, cultural and political differences affect

global development of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws Wide prosecutorial discretion Execution is the key – how aggressively

governments enforce their laws makes a difference Execution may vary and depends on political

circumstances in each country/region

WHAT DO RECENT DEVELOPMENTS MEAN FOR COMPANIES OPERATING IN CHINA?

Good news (sort of): If your company gives a bribe to a PRC official and it comes to light, the PRC gov’t probably isn’t going to prosecute your company

Bad news: If your company is giving commercial bribes, you’re facing a real enforcement risk in from Chinese regulators that could implicate the FCPA even tho’ the behavior appears not to involve ‘officials’ from a China law perspective

IMPLICATIONS (CONT’D): CHINAWHYS

Peter Humphrey, respected China-hand and founding director of ChinaWhys consultancy – arrested: Global Times: “Paying from 800 ($131) to 2,000 yuan per piece,

the couple started purchasing and collecting Chinese citizens' personal information, including names of family members, household property, addresses, overseas travel records and vehicle ownership.”

Humphrey and his partner/wife were arrested on criminal charges of trafficking personal information of Chinese citizens

Characterized as part of a nationwide sweep: “The case is part of a nationwide campaign launched by the Ministry of Public Security aimed at cracking down on infringement upon citizens' personal information. Since August 7, police in Shanghai have captured 126 suspects for illegal trading of personal information, of them 35 have been detained under criminal charges. Some 100 million pieces of personal information waiting to be sold have also been found.”

US: AGGRESSIVE PROSECUTION

US authorities say FCPA prosecutions “a top priority”

Recoveries of enormous amounts of fines and penalties Disgorgement of profits from tainted contracts, in addition to

fines Ability to charge multiple offenses on the same set of facts

Exceptionally broad assertion of extraterritorial jurisdiction

Most cases resolved by settlement rather than litigation Limited case law Facilitates ability of prosecutors to take increasingly

aggressive positions unchecked by judicial authority

US: ELEMENTS OF EFFECTIVE COMPLIANCE No program can prevent all violations

Three key questions: Is the company’s compliance program well designed? Is it being applied in good faith? Does it work?

US DOJ/SEC Guide: “hallmarks of effective compliance” Senior management commitment Policies and procedures Oversight, autonomy and resources Risk assessment Training Incentives and disciplinary measures. Due diligence Confidential reporting and internal investigation. Periodic testing and review.

US: SOURCES OF PROSECUTIONS

Most significant source cases is corporate self-reporting Leveraging of limited enforcement resources by offering

leniency in exchange for self-reporting

Other sources may become increasingly important Dodd-Frank whistleblower bounties

10 to 30 percent share of recovery Tips from employees, former employees, competitors, ex-

spouses Increased likelihood that authorities will learn of violations Significant pressure for company to self-report

Increasing international cooperation

OECD Convention on Bribery (1997 vs. 2013)

Page 20: Spanning the Globe With Anti -Corruption and Anti-Bribery ... · PDF fileSince August 7, police in Shanghai ... Significant pressure for company to self-report ... not a full defense

US: INTERNATIONALIZATION OF ANTICORRUPTION EFFORTS

OECD Convention was largely a US initiative

According to Transparency International, of 39 signatories, only seven were “actively” enforcing their laws implementing the OECD Convention

Many nations do not make it a priority to devote resources to expensive prosecutions that may harm domestic companies

Suggestions that these laws may be used as a competitive weapon against other nations

9 of the 10 largest FCPA cases involved non-US companies.

UK authorities have said that they will prioritize Bribery Act prosecutions where a UK company was disadvantaged.

CORRUPTION RISK IN LATIN AMERICA AND AFRICA

Many countries in these regions are in the bottom half of Transparency International’s 2012 Corruption Perceptions Index e.g. Angola (157 of 174); Nigeria (139 of 174); Brazil (69 of

174); Venezuela (165 of 174)

Many of these same countries offer significant business opportunities for global companies

The historical levels of corruption, the size of government contract opportunities and the relative lack of transparency and consistency in regulatory processes creates enormous corruption risk

ANTI-CORRUPTION ENFORCEMENT IN BRAZIL

Recent scandals involving public corruption and infrastructure development for the World Cup and Olympics prompted Brazilian legislature to enact robust anti-corruption legislation

The legislation becomes effective in January 2014 and imposes civil (not criminal) penalties on companies that bribe Brazilian or foreign public officials; effective compliance is a mitigating factor but not a full defense

Recent internal investigations or settled U.S. enforcement proceedings involving Brazil include Embraer, Eli Lilly and Nature’s Sunshine

ANTI-CORRUPTION LAW There is no unified anti-corruption law in Russia Anti-corruption rules are dispersed among two federal laws, three codes and other

pieces of legislation Gifts to public officials are prohibited in connection with their official duties (with

certain limited exceptions) Bribe giving, bribe taking and commercial bribery by individuals are all prohibited

under the Russian Criminal Code Commercial bribes may result in criminal liability for individuals Criminal liability is applied to individuals (regardless of whether a bribe is given

personally or through an intermediary, or directly to a public official or to his/her relatives)

Bribery by legal entities is prohibited under the Code of Administrative Offences (there is no criminal liability for legal entities in Russia)

A failed attempt to bribe can still result in liability

AMENDMENTS TO ANTI-CORRUPTION LAW In January 2013 Russia enacted amendments to the Federal Law “On Counteracting

Corruption” with Article 13.3 “The Obligation of Organizations to Undertake Anti-

Corruption Measures”

Article 13.3 imposes an affirmative obligation on companies doing business in Russia

to implement anti-corruption compliance measures that may include:

Identifying departments and officers who will be responsible for compliance

Cooperating with law enforcement agencies

Developing and implementing anti-corruption standards

Adopting a code of professional ethics and conduct

Preventing and resolving conflicts of interest

Preventing the creation and use of false documents

Page 39: Spanning the Globe With Anti -Corruption and Anti-Bribery ... · PDF fileSince August 7, police in Shanghai ... Significant pressure for company to self-report ... not a full defense

AMENDMENTS TO ANTI-CORRUPTION LAW Article 13.3 contains only suggestions with regard to possible anti-corruption measures

The sufficiency of an organization’s anti-corruption compliance measures will still

require a case-by-case judicial determination

Article 13.3 does not contain a penalty provision, and so the court will refer to the Code

of Administrative Offences

In the event of a violation a legal entity may be fined for up to100 times the amount of

the bribe

A legal entity may be deemed liable under the Code of Administrative Offences if it

failed to take “all measures to comply” that were within its control

There is no court practice yet available with regard to the application of Article 13.3

CORRUPTION RED FLAGS IN RUSSIA Because endemic corruption is widespread, you may be deemed to be on notice before you even

enter the market A major risk in Russia involves use of third parties, including agents, intermediaries, resellers,

distributors, and joint venture partners Lack of transparency is a red flag Examples of non-transparent practices include:

Complicated ownership arrangements Use of or affiliations with shell companies Use of offshore holding companies Use of offshore bank accounts Use of fake invoices and stamps Use of sham counterparties to create unrecorded cash (obnalichka/obnalichivanie)

Difficult (but not impossible) to detect in audit Often also used for tax avoidance and money laundering

This underscores the need for heightened scrutiny of business partners in the region
