Abstract: 

Recent U.S. government guidance and enforcement activity have emphasized the importance of addressing the corruption risks posed by third-party agents or consultants operating overseas. After discussing the FCPA legal framework and government guidance on third-party management, the authors address recent cases that provide a reminder of the risks, and exemplify the compliance programs and controls that are needed to mitigate them.
