Topic
AmCham's has described the event thusly:
In the post-Enron and post-Andersen environment of more stringent requirements for compliance, corporate governance and business ethics, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar obligations have taken a higher profile in the range of concerns facing US multinationals overseas. The AmCham Shanghai Legal Committee has invited two representatives from Coudert and ChinaWhys to explain the compliance issues, potential pitfalls and means to mitigate the associated risks through legal and investigative remedies.
Presenters
Mr. Landon Prieur, head of the Coudert Brothers Shanghai office, will explain the legal obligations facing US companies, the potential consequences for violations, and the available legal measures for managing risks and responding to trouble as well as legal due diligence issues.
Mr. Peter Humphrey, Managing Director of ChinaWhys Co Ltd, a specialist in combating white-collar crime and a long-term China expert, will outline some investigative approaches that can be taken before entering into deals in China to avoid ending up with corrupt partners or staff, or after problems have already arisen with FCPA implications.
