FCPA Professor has been described as “the Wall Street Journal concerning all things FCPA-related,” and “the most authoritative source for those seeking to understand and apply the FCPA.”
Set forth below are the topics discussed this week on FCPA Professor.
This FCPA Flash podcast episode is a conversation with Bradley Bondi (Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP). As highlighted in this recent post, Bondi testified at a House hearing titled “Ensuring Effectiveness, Fairness, and Transparency in Securities Law Enforcement” that touched upon several FCPA relevant issues. In the podcast, Bondi elaborates on certain of these issues including: disgorgement and statute of limitation issues. In addition, based on his comment during the hearing that “few would consider a local police force successful in deterring crime if it announced record numbers of arrests year after year,” Bondi opines whether the FCPA is being successful in accomplishing its objectives.
This guest post by Cécile Terret & David Père (Paris-based attorneys with Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner) discusses the French portion of the recent Société Générale enforcement action.
As highlighted here, the DOJ’s FCPA Unit Chief refused to answer various factual questions regarding FCPA enforcement.

This post rounds up other FCPA or related developments.
