The role of a compliance program is to prevent, detect, and remediate. This role works for any law or regulation a company is following. Certainly a FCPA compliance program assists a company in complying with the world’s signature anti-corruption law. If a company follows the prescriptions of the Ten Hallmarks of an Effective Compliance program as laid out in the FCPA Guidance and actually maintains compliance, it will have a compliance program that allows it to comply with other countries’ anti-bribery/anti-corruption laws.
