How Asia‑Based Companies Should Respond as U.S. Enforcement Is Unpaused and APAC Regulation Hits Fast‑Forward

Despite ongoing risks of FCPA enforcement, for Asia-based companies, a more immediate and consequential development is the growth in activity by Asian regulators. Contrary to U.S. developments in 2025 and 2026 – marked by the pause and refocusing of FCPA enforcement efforts – anti-corruption enforcement has expanded in several key Asia-Pacific jurisdictions.
