Grab-Bag of FCPA Enforcement

Richard L. Cassin collects news about enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for posts on the FCPA blog. He tries to assemble them into a weekly post, but sometimes, he explains, they just remain “random factoids.” Pretty interesting nonetheless. Here are a few: Of the 256 corporate FCPA enforcement actions through 10-28-21, 168 have involved companies headquartered in the United States – 65.6 percent; One hundred seventy-seven of the those cases involved public companies, 78 were privately-held; Forty-five of them involved oil and gas producers or energy services companies. Ten involved companies from the aerospace industry; So far in 2021, the average corporate FCPA resolution is valued at $70.5 million. In 2020, that figure was almost $535 million. In 2019, it was $207 million.
