Abstract:
In 2019, the DOJ updated its FCPA Corporate Enforcement Policy to clarify that there will be a presumption of declination where a company uncovers misconduct in connection with a merger or acquisition, and voluntarily self-discloses the misconduct and otherwise takes action consistent with the Policy. The authors discuss this “tactical shift” by the DOJ.Keywords: FCPA Corporate Enforcement Policy; FCPA Due Diligence in M&A Transactions
