In running searches for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and related content every day, 365 days a year, for sixteen years there is some interesting content I come across.
I don’t seem to recall though a company issuing a press release because its employees received FCPA training.
Until recently that is.
Dinant is an agribusiness and consumer packaged goods manufacturer in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
It recently issued this release titled: “Dinant Strengthens Anti-Corruption Framework with FCPA Training by Foley Hoag” which states in pertinent part:
“Dinant has reinforced its commitment to the highest international standards of corporate governance and ethical standards through an executive training program on anti-corruption compliance delivered by Foley Hoag LLP, a leading Washington, DC law firm recognized for global compliance expertise.
In December, 45 senior Dinant leaders—including managers from Sales, Logistics, Procurement, and Legal—attended a comprehensive online workshop on global anti-corruption compliance, U.S. sanctions, and international enforcement trends. The training was led by Anthony Mirenda, Co-Chair of Foley Hoag’s Government Investigations Practice, who has over 30 years of experience advising multinationals on compliance and regulatory risk.
The workshop addressed key compliance and governance topics, including:
– International anti-corruption efforts and enforcement trends
– U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement
– U.K. Bribery Act enforcement
– U.S. sanctions compliance requirements
– Third-party and operational risk
– Internal compliance controls, enforcement case studies, and best-practice program design
