The vast majority of corporate Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement actions are based, in whole or in part, on the conduct of third parties (whether agents, representatives, distributors, or joint venture partners).
Against this backdrop, a recent survey found that approximately 50% of companies NEVER train third parties on anti-bribery and corruption laws and related compliance policies and procedures.
As to this survey finding, it was noted “companies may be reluctant to spend money and time to push training to third parties because they suspect they will not get much enthusiasm from third parties, who may view it as one more compliance exercise.”
That of course depends on what type of training it is.
I myself would not be enthusiastic about much of the FCPA and related training I’ve come across as it is filled with powerpoints and legalese.
FCPA and related training doesn’t have to be this way.
There is another option.
It’s the Global Anti-Bribery and Corruption Training Course I developed with Emtrain (an innovative compliance training company) and numerous companies across industry sectors have already selected it for their on-line anti-bribery training needs.
The approximate 60-minute course features several interactive components such as 20+ video clips that engage learners and illustrate real-world business scenarios that present risk and an enforcement risk spectrum that helps learners “issue spot” bribery and corruption risks. Other features of the course include:
- Executive and non-executive versions;
- The ability to configure the course with company-specific messages and videos from corporate leaders, company specific policies, and company employee hotline or reporting information;
- Availability in the following languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese (simplified), Japanese, French, Russian and others upon request.
- The ability to use video scenes outside the e-Learning experience in live training, discussion groups, or company emails and reminders; and
- A compliance Learning Management System enabling an administrator to launch and track training efforts and generate audit-ready training reports showing time spent on each video, screen, policy, etc.
