The analysis is extensively annotated with over 1,000 endnotes citing source materials and providing useful insights for practitioners.

The Second Edition addresses a wide range of issues, including:

• The anti-bribery provisions and related compliance concerns

• Conducting due diligence and instituting compliance measures
• Internal investigations, disclosure obligations, and monitors
• Related business, contractual, and employment issues
• The international anti-bribery conventions and their implications
