Fcpa Anti-Bribery Compliance Attorney: Core Defense Strategies
Not knowing is a defense. Not wanting to know is not. The statute reaches deliberate ignorance. A company that ignores red flags around a third party — an agent whose commission is unexplained, a consultant introduced by the customer, a distributor with no discernible business — is treated as knowing.

Companies confident that no payment was made are often surprised that this is not the charge. A compliance program does not prevent enforcement. It changes what enforcement produces. Its design and effectiveness bear on whether a case is charged, whether a resolution is available, whether a monitor is imposed, and how a penalty is calculated.
