	22nd National Conference on Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Tuesday, November 17, 2009 to Wednesday, November 18, 2009 Gaylord National Resort & Convention Centre, Washington, DC, United States The increase of FCPA enforcement makes prevention an even higher priority than it may have been in the past. The absence of preventative measure is almost certain to result in substantially increased penalties if an issue arises. This makes an effective anti-corruption compliance program essential for all companies. With record-setting sanctions involving well-known companies, global organizations have to reassess their own anti-corruption measures to prevent lapses that might lead to damaging and costly enforcement actions. Now in its 22nd successful year, the American Conference Institute's National Conference on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is the event that corporate counsel, compliance officers, outside counsel and consultants rely on for comprehensive, insightful, and practical guidance on critical FCPA compliance issues. Benefit from the practical perspective of seasoned corporate FCPA compliance executives, get an update on enforcement and policy initiatives from top Government officials and FCPA attorneys, and learn how industry is setting up internal controls to comply in this constantly changing global legal landscape. Business Roundtable members are entitled to a $200 discount when they reference the discount code Business Roundtable. Seats at this unique event always go quickly.
