In a single, concise publication, Stuart H. Deming successfully integrates the critical factors that require consideration in designing and implementing an effective anti-bribery compliance program. In so doing, he provides a practical framework that is invaluable in almost any legal setting.

The salient considerations arising out of official guidance and enforcement actions of the United State and the United Kingdom are addressed as part of a roadmap that is laid out for complying with the basic tenants of the FCPA and UK Bribery Act. Yet this tightly written guide takes into account other legal regimes and guidance issued by respected international organizations. It has a general application and useful guidance for whatever jurisdiction may be involved.

In particular, in implementing an effective anti-bribery compliance program, this guide provides useful insights on:

• Identifying and understanding the critical components
• Creating a roadmap for implementation
• Designing effective policies and procedures
• Harmonizing polices to accommodate multiple legal regimes
• Establishing the role of senior management
• Developing practical training
• Monitoring the effectiveness of a compliance program
• Undertaking relevant risk management
• Conducting meaningful due diligence
• Drafting effective compliance provisions in legal agreements
• And much more!

The highly practical appendices include a checklist of key components of an effective compliance program and sample compliance provisions for third-party agreements.
