More than 120,000 unique visitors read the FCPA Blog each month, with over 29,000 subscribers receiving our daily digest and email alerts.

We set out in 2007 to bring our readers free and unrestricted coverage of all Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement actions — the first to do that in real-time.*

Since then we’ve published more than 7,000 posts by 600 different authors.

Our mission is to help compliance professionals and others everywhere understand how corruption happens, what it does to people and institutions, and how anti-corruption laws and compliance programs work.

We cover the enforcement agencies, and the public and private groups that promote compliance and the fight against graft.

The FCPA Blog is pro business and pro compliance.

Over the years, our coverage has expanded to include most areas of white-collar crime and enforcement.

Thanks for supporting the FCPA Blog.

Sincerely,

Richard L. Cassin

*The FCPA is a United States federal law enacted in 1977. It prohibits paying bribes to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Violations of the anti-bribery provisions are prosecuted by the Department of Justice and are punishable by up to five years in prison. The Securities and Exchange Commission enforces the accounting provisions of the FCPA, which require U.S. public companies to have adequate internal controls to prevent and detect bribery and fraud, and to keep accurate and complete books and records.
