FCPA Enforcement Actions Against Companies In The Financial Services Industry

October 25, 2024

This recent EY publication states that “the financial services industry has largely avoided major headlines resulting from [FCPA] enforcement activity.”

That is a rather strange statement given that there has been 14 FCPA enforcement actions against companies in the financial services industry over the past 9 years including two companies that have resolved 2 FCPA enforcement actions.

Set forth below are the FCPA enforcement actions against companies in the financial services industry since 2015.

Barclays (2019)

BNY Mellon (2015)

Corficolombiana (2023)

Credit Suisse (2018, 2021)

Deutsche Bank (2019, 2021)

Goldman Sachs (2020)

J&F Investimentos (2020)

JP Morgan (2016)

Legg Mason (2018)

Och-Ziff (2016)

Societe Generale (2018)

World Acceptance (2020)

Two of the above enforcement actions (Goldman Sachs and Och-Ziff) are on the top ten list of largest FCPA settlements of all-time.
