Understanding the 2025 FCPA Enforcement Paradigm

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) remains one of the most influential U.S. anti‑bribery and transparency laws, and in 2025, the Department of Justice (DOJ) introduced new guidance that reshapes how the law will be enforced. These updates carry significant implications for the governance, supervisory, and compliance frameworks used by investment advisers and broker‑dealers. 

Join industry leaders from Latham & Watkins and ACA Group for a practical, forward‑looking discussion on what the new DOJ guidelines mean for your firm. We will discuss how enforcement priorities are evolving, what regulators will expect to see in your controls, and how global regulators are responding in parallel.

During this webcast, we will explore:

• The origins and purpose of the FCPA, and how enforcement has changed over time
• How firms currently structure governance, supervision, and controls to meet FCPA expectations
• Key changes introduced in the DOJ’s 2025 FCPA guidance
• How global markets and international regulators are reacting
• The operational and risk impacts for U.S. advisers and broker‑dealers moving forward
