Written Standards/Policies: 

The specific policies and guidelines incorporated into a compliance program will vary from company to company, depending on a number of factors, including, e.g., geographical and industry risks, corporate structure and culture.  The bare bones components of FCPA compliance guidelines, however, remain consistent.  They include:

  •       short policy statement from senior management
  •       statement of scope of guidelines (i.e. covered parties)
  •       designation of responsible individuals
  •       overview of applicable laws
  •       guidelines on specific issues
  •       gifts, entertainment & promotional expenditures
  •      travel and travel related expenses
  •       political and charitable contributions
  •       facilitating payments
  •       conflicts of interest
  •       guidelines on dealing with third parties
  •       red flags
  •       due diligence
  •       safeguards
  •       monitoring third party relationships
  •       accounting and recordkeeping
  •       mechanisms for reporting potential violations and
  •       responding to problems
