The latest trends in overseas bribery: In light of the FCPA and DOJ's reward-offering whistleblower program
As compliance becomes increasingly important in global business expansion, Japanese companies are being required to understand and respond to everything from basic knowledge about overseas bribery to the latest legal and regulatory trends.
In Japan, the Unfair Competition Prevention Act's foreign bribery crime will be amended in June 2023 and will come into effect in April 6, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Foreign Bribery Prevention Guidelines were also revised in February of the same year. Furthermore, in August 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) launched the Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program, which includes overseas bribery as a reporting subject.
In this seminar, we will summarize the basics of bribery regulations in each country, focusing on Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and then explain the latest trends, such as the revision of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Guidelines for Preventing Bribery of Foreign Public Officials and the DOJ's whistleblower program with rewards.
