Worldwide, governmental anti-corruption efforts have been ramping up like never before. From the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") to the U.K. Bribery Act and recent Chinese, French, Indonesian, Brazilian, and German anti-bribery legislations, the compliance world has witnessed the fight against corruption rocketing to the top of most law reform and enforcement agendas. As the fight against corruption goes global, practitioners of the compliance, regulatory, and investigative space must understandand--and more importantly navigate--these increasingly complicated and often perilous compliance waters.With that heavy reality in mind, this first-of-its-kind book draws on the real-world experience and expertise possessed by some of the world's leading anti-corruption and anti-bribery practitioners to make meeting that challenge easier. Featuring country-specific chapters and practitioner-focused "how to" modules, From Baksheesh to Bribery serves as a one-stop shop for practitioners, in-house counsel, compliance personnel, academics, and others who want--and often need--to understand the world's perspective on corruption and the fight against it.
This book investigates the complex global landscape of anti-corruption legislation and the practical challenges faced by legal and compliance professionals in navigating international bribery enforcement. The authors, Andrew S. Boutros and T. Markus Funk, leverage their extensive experience as legal practitioners to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding how various national laws, such as the U.S. FCPA and the U.K. Bribery Act, intersect in a globalized economy. They argue that as enforcement agendas intensify worldwide, professionals require a structured, multi-jurisdictional approach to mitigate legal risks and ensure regulatory compliance.
