1Regulatory landscape

Overview of anti-bribery laws Anti-bribery laws generally prohibit theoffer, promise, gift of any item of value tobring about or reward the improperperformance of a duty or function. Some anti-bribery laws also prohibit therequest, receipt or acceptance of suchitems. Signatories of the OECD Convention onCombating Bribery are required tocriminalise bribery of foreign publicofficials. Many countries also prohibit the bribing ofprivate individuals and entities. 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP7

OverviewGlobal reach of anti-bribery laws Key pieces of legislation, such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and theUK Bribery Act, have a broad global reach and can directly penalize bothindividuals and companies. An offence under the UKBA is committed if either: any act or omission which forms part of the offence takes place in the UK; or the relevant person has a close connection with the UK – this includes being a Britishnational or British corporate, or being a resident in the UK.The FCPA contains anti-bribery and accounting provisions and applies to: US concerns issuers (publicly traded companies and their officers, directors, employees andagents) foreign persons or entities, as well as their officers, directors, employees and agentswho act in furtherance of a bribe in the US (email or money transfer will suffice) 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP8

General principlesWhat constitutes a ‘bribe’A bribe under anti-bribery legislation coversany item of value to the recipient.This can include: Cash and cash equivalents Gifts Charitable contributions or donations In-kind services Hospitalities, e.g., lodging, hotels, airlinetickets, meals, entertainment, excursions Job offers to family members Tuition and education of children Business referrals 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP9

General principlesWhat is meant by ‘business’ or ‘business advantage’? 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP Obtaining, retaining or renewing a contract Obtaining regulatory approvals Preventing adverse government action Obtaining a competitor's bid Avoiding duties Reducing taxes Increasing profits10

General Principles‘Foreign public official’Some anti-bribery legislation has a particular focus or enhanced penalties for effortsto bribe foreign public officials.Typically, this is broadly defined under anti-bribery legislation and can include: Any foreign government (e.g., mayor, governor, legislator and judiciary) Any department, instrumentality, or agency of a foreign government (e.g., tax orcustoms authorities) A foreign state-owned or controlled entity (e.g. a state-owned bank or stateowned or controlled company like ARAMCO, MUBADALA, TAWAZUN) Any foreign political party and candidates for foreign office Any public international organization (e.g., World Bank) Certain members of royal families Any person who acts at the specific request, direction, or for the benefit of any ofthe aboveExtra care should be taken when dealing, directly or indirectly, with any of the above 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP11

ISO 37001 International Standard – AntiBribery Systems

Key requirements of the standardA series of measures and controls to help prevent, detect and respond tobribery risk, among them:12Risk assessment5An anti-briberypolicy, procedures,and controls6Due diligence on projectsandbusiness associates437Investigation proceduresCommunicationand trainingGoverning body, seniorleadership, commitment,responsibilityand oversight8Monitoring and reviewCorrective actionand continual improvementSource: s/iso-37001-insights-new-anti-bribery-standard 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP14

Implementing the standard The anti-bribery program can exist within a larger compliance program The language used is important The anti-bribery risk assessment serves as the foundation for theprogram's scope and objectives Policies, procedures and controls should be "reasonable andproportionate" to the bribery risks the organization faces Organizations must implement anti-bribery controls where there is "morethan a low risk of bribery" Emphasis on continued improvement 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP15

ISO 37001: CertificationCertification is Voluntary Some governments areconsidering requiringISO 37001 certificationfor public contracting Some MDBs may alsorequire certification 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLPThe Certification Process Questionnaire todetermine eligibility forcertification Documentation onrequirements of ISO37001 On-site auditAdditional Points ISO 37001 certificationis valid for three years,with an annualsurveillance audit Auditors must meet37001-specific auditorcompetencyrequirements16

2Current enforcement environment

Enforcement agenciesIn the US, Department of Justice and Securitiesand Exchange Commission share enforcementauthority: DOJ has criminal enforcement authority SEC is responsible for civil enforcementover “issuers”, officers, directors, employeesand agents SEC generally enforces accountingprovisions of the FCPAIn UK, enforcement is by the Serious FraudOffice and the National Crime Agency 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP18

Enforcement TrendsGlobal1Globalization of anti-bribery enforcement2Sharing information with other country authorities3Multiplying agencies and increased inter-agency cooperation4Proliferation of new laws5Focus on individual civil and criminal liability6Focus on effective compliance programs7Enhanced enforcement tools 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP19

Enforcement TrendsUKEnforcementagainstindividuals “Failure toprevent” Deferredprosecutionagreements 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLPIn July 2016, four former Barclays Bank plc employees were sentenced to atotal of 17 years imprisonmentIn December 2014, four former directors were sentence to 28 years inconnection to a 23m fraudBribery Act contains an offence of a corporate failing to prevent a bribe beingpaid by an “associated person” (e.g. employee, subsidiary, agent or distributor)In the process of extending to other forms of economic crime, including taxevasion and fraudCompanies in the UK can enter into DPAs with regulators and authorities wherea prosecution is suspended provided that the corporation meets certainspecified conditions.This typically involves the payment of a financial penalty and compensation.Rolls-Royce entered into a DPA in early 2017 – this involved the payment of 497m to authorities in the UK and a further 174 to US and Brazilianauthorities.Entering into a DPA does not preclude enforcement against individuals20

Enforcement TrendsU.S. More resources for enforcement authoritiesIncreased global cooperation (sharing information, joint prosecutions)In September 2015, DOJ issued the “Yates Memorandum,” which requires DOJprosecutors to focus more on prosecuting individualsDOJ indeed has been focusing more on individuals, while the SEC continues tofocus on entitiesIn November 2015, DOJ hired a Compliance Expert, who reviews complianceprograms of companies under the DOJ investigationIn April 2016, DOJ announced the FCPA Pilot Program, which clarifies the standardsand benefits for companies who voluntarily disclose violations and cooperateExpanded charges (combining corruption charges with mail and wire fraud, moneylaundering and other criminal charges)SEC whistleblower bounty program continues to prime the pumpGreater awareness (cooperating companies, media reports)Higher expectations for compliance programs (third party due diligence, M&A duediligence, investigations of wrongdoing and remediation) 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP21

Consequences of non-compliance Criminal charges, leading to imprisonmentand/or fines Significant civil fines and disgorgement Extradition Dawn raids and investigations byauthorities Serious harm to company reputation Shareholder lawsuits; decrease in stockvalue Internal investigation costs can beenormous. Recent examples: Walmart: 650 million in 3 years Avon: 400 million in 5 years May lose tax incentives and othergovernment benefits (potential suspensionor debarment) Extremely disruptive to business 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLPSources: The Telegraph,22

3Major risk areas

Key Risk AreasUnderlying risk factors Geographic risk: Operations in sensitive environments Business partner risk: Use of third party agents / distributors in procurement processes Use of teaming arrangements / JV partners Public sector risk: prevalence of interactions with politically exposed personsthroughout the supply chain Contractual risk: High value and single source contracts Complex tendering processes Offset arrangements Transparency risk: National security considerations provide basis for lack oftransparency / openness 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP26

Key Risk AreasCommon anti-corruption red flags Payments offered or made in cash Extravagant or lavish gifts or hospitality Over-invoicing or lack of standard invoices Unusual credits granted to new customers Managers of foreign operations have been paid unusual bonuses Requests for payment in a country other than the intermediary's registeredheadquarters, senior management offices, or where services are performed An intermediary lacks the qualifications, necessary experience or resources toperform the services for which it is retained An intermediary's refusal to certify to anti-corruption representations, warranties,and related language in agreements Recommendation to use intermediary coming from a Foreign Official Commissions or fees exceed customary rate for similar services, orunreasonably exceed rates paid for similar services elsewhere 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP27

Key Risk AreasUse of third partiesUnder the “failure to prevent”offence of the Bribery Act and insimilar anti-bribery legislation,companies can be held liable for theacts of third parties even if theywere not aware of their actions.Examples include: A distributor or logisticscompany who pays a bribe tocustoms officials in order tomove goods across borders An agent who gifts a Mercedesto the daughter of a foreignpublic official to help win acontract 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP28

Key Risk AreasUse of third partiesRolls-Royce entered into a settlement with UK,US and Brazilian authorities which involved afinancial penalty of 671m. It was alleged that: an indirect subsidiary of Rolls-Royce had madecommission payments to third party commercialintermediaries; certain employees in Rolls-Royce knew that suchpayments would be used to pay bribes to foreignpublic officials on behalf of Rolls-Royce inThailand, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Angola,Iraq and elsewhere; and these bribes were paid in exchange for the foreignpublic officials’ assistance in providing confidentialinformation and awarding contracts to RollsRoyce and its affiliated entities. 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP29

Key Risk AreasManaging third party riskCompany employees must: Choose third parties with care - follow company’s procedures on appropriatedue diligence on all business partners Ensure that third parties operate to company’s standards – do not assume thatbusiness partners have the same anti-bribery controls as the company Monitor the performance of third parties and their adherence to company’s antibribery standardsIn choosing third parties, company employees should be aware of risk factors –any circumstance, internal or external to the third party which can enhance thelikelihood of a risk. For example: Interaction with public officials (broadly defined) Unusual payment methods or amounts Operation in countries with high levels of corruption Prevalence of off-shore company structures Reliance on sub-contractors or lower tier third parties 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP30

Key Risk AreasManaging third party riskThird party screening principles:RISK SATION 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP31

Key Risk AreasGifts and hospitalityAnti-bribery authorities recognize that providinggifts and hospitality is a common and importantmethod of building and maintaining businessrelationships.However, gifts and hospitality can be used as amethod of influencing decision-makers or publicofficials to act in an improper manner.In 2015, the US Securities and ExchangeCommission charged FLIR Systems Inc. forviolating the FCPA. It was alleged that: Two FLIR employees took governmentofficials in Saudi Arabia on a 20-night worldtour with stops in Casablanca, Paris, Dubai,Beirut and New York and purchasedexpensive watches. The employees allegedly falsified records inan attempt to hide their misconduct. 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP32

Key Risk AreasGifts and hospitalityHospitality and gifts are broadly definedHigher risk in relation to public officialsConsider: Lavishness Frequency and cumulative value Value by itself, but also standard practice in the sector Is it high enough to see it as intending to influence the recipient? Commercial context (e.g., immediately preceding a decision on award of contract) Is it linked to the demonstration or promotion of products? Identity and location of the recipient Law or internal policy applicable to recipient Hospitality versus gifts Dangers of cash gifts Nature of corporate hospitality Circumstances in which it is offered (e.g., was it requested by the recipient?) 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP33

Key Risk AreasCharitable donations Similar to gifts and hospitality, the use of charitable donations can be important andlegitimate for a business However, the use of donations should be carefully reviewed and monitored to ensure thatit is not a method of funnelling payments to recipients for improper purposes In September 2016, Laureate Education voluntarily disclosed to the US Department ofJustice that it suspected that a charitable donation may have been used for improperpurposes: Laureate made a 18m donation to a charitable foundation in Turkey, allegedlybelieving that the donation was encouraged by the Turkish government to further agovernment supported public project Laureate, allegedly, subsequently learned that the charitable foundation disbursed thefunds at the direction of a former senior executive at Laureate’s network in Turkey to athird party allegedly without Laureate’s knowledge or approval Employees should ensure that any direct or indirect recipient of any donation arelegitimate Employees should seek approval for any donations made on the company’s behalf andensure that the donation is clearly documented 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP34

4Mitigating tactics

Five essential elements of corporate complianceBaker McKenzie has distilled the key themes from the compliance programexpectations of government regulators around the world into five essential elementsof corporate compliance that should be present in every company's complianceprogram:LeadershipRisk AssessmentStandards and ControlsTraining and CommunicationMonitoring, Auditing and Response 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP36

Third party due diligence questions that need to beansweredDOJ/SEC FCPA Guidance As part of risk-based due diligence, does your organization understandthe qualifications and associations of its third party partners? If there is a red flag, did you conduct more due diligence? Does your organization have an understanding of the business rationalefor including the third party in the transaction? Does your organization undertake some form of ongoing monitoring ofthe third party relationship?

5Key takeaways

Key takeaways Aggressive FCPA enforcement is not going away Prosecution of individuals is increasing and whistleblower activity is on the rise In recent years, FCPA fines and penalties have increased Active cooperation and information sharing among enforcement authorities is continuing to increase,and the prospect of enforcement actions in multiple countries is on the rise As evidenced by DOJ’s retention of compliance counsel and recently published compliance programevaluation guidance, having an effective compliance program is critically important to both avoidingand detecting FCPA violations and to minimizing exposure to FCPA liability if problems arise The indefinite extension of the DOJ’s FCPA Pilot Program highlights the importance of self-disclosure,remediation and cooperation and shows that the self-disclosure calculus is becoming more complex Understanding and addressing third party risk is a critical initial step for anti-corruption and briberypolicies and programs Automating third party due diligence improves all elements of anti-corruption and bribery programs 2017 Baker & McKenzie LLP44
