Everybody, it seems, likes “Top Ten” lists.
This post highlights the top ten corporate FCPA settlements of all-time.
It seems odd saying this, but the list (unlike other lists out there) only includes enforcement actions where the corporate defendant was charged with or found to be in violation of the FCPA’s provisions (not other laws). In addition, this list highlights net FCPA settlement amounts after consistently accounting for (unlike other lists out there) certain credits or deductions in several enforcement actions involving foreign companies.
