What does the government really expect from a compliance program? When will a company get cooperation credit? These were among the questions tackled by FCPA experts in the private and public sectors during a recent program hosted by Practising Law Institute. The panelists included Kara N. Brockmeyer, chief of the SEC’s FCPA Unit of the Division of Enforcement and Matthew S. Queler, an assistant chief in the Fraud Section of the DOJ’s Criminal Division. Sharing the perspective of the defense bar were Kimberly A. Parker, a partner at WilmerHale; Jeffrey D. Clark, a partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher and former Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of New Jersey; and Mark F. Mendelsohn, a partner at Paul, Weiss, and former deputy chief of the Fraud Section of the DOJ’s Criminal Division. A companion article, published in our last issue, contained the panelists’ discussion on hot topics such as international coordination of anti-corruption cases, a rising bar for cooperation credit and the availability of declinations.
