Integrating Forensic Data Analytics in Anti-Corruption Compliance Programs

The 2012 election will be the first presidential campaign taking place after the Citizens United Supreme Court case overruled previous campaign finance law limits on organizations' ability to participate in election activity. Despite this positive ruling for corporations ans associations, various rules and pitfalls exist for those who want to get involved in the political process. 

This webinar will help you prepare your organization for the 2012 cycle by reviewing topics such as the legal landscape for campaign finance, PACs and C-4 not-for-profit corporations, fundraising and disclosure, and rules for industry associations.

Corporate Involvement in the 2012 Election: Understanding the Law and

With the widely-reported increase in FCPA enforcement by the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the new UK Bribery Act recently taking effect, corporations are increasingly required to conduct anti-bribery due diligence and investigations across the globe. Yet EU data privacy laws often seem to be in direct conflict with US regulator’s expectations for credible investigations. Complying with US and EU requirements can require creative solutions and a strategic legal and technical partnership to gather and review the necessary data and documents.

Attend this webcast, co-presented by Kelly Garrett Thorman of Fulbright & Jaworksi and Craig Earnshaw of FTI Technology, to learn both the legal and technical perspectives on:

•       Data privacy requirements as they relate to investigations;

•       Practical steps and considerations for large-scale international on-site document collection, processing and review;

•       Best practices from a recently completed European investigation.

Foreign Investigations: A Case Study

The recently released Dodd-Frank rules on whistleblowers will impact how allegations of federal securities law violations are reported, reviewed, and investigated and require corporations to consider compliance program changes to meet the challenges created by the new incentives and protections.

Impact of New Dodd-Frank Rules - Whistleblowing & Corp Compliance

From whistle blower allegations, government inquiries and subpoenas, to corporate due diligence, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) violations, and financial fraud – corporate counsel must collect and produce greater amounts of data from around the globe.  Besides basic logistical issues, various tiers of data privacy restrictions complicate the process, requiring an in-depth knowledge of data storage technology and practices, multinational data transfer regulations, and general e-discovery best practices. For example, if data is required in response to a regulatory request in the United States, yet the custodians are based in France and Germany, how can the data be collected and reviewed in a defensible manner in compliance with EU as well as French and German data privacy laws? This program will outline the key considerations and best practices for collecting and assessing data in a defensible and secure manner.
