What Will September Bring?

September is a great month. Evenings are crisp and cool, the leaves begin to change, college football returns to campus, and in-season honey crisp apples are widely available!

September is also the end of the government's fiscal year and, because of this, it tends to be an active FCPA enforcement month. Although September 2008 was a bit slow, September 2007 saw the following enforcement actions: Immucor, Inc., Bristow Group, Inc., Electronic Data Systems Corp., and Paradigm B.V.

The Paradigm action (see here) is one of my favorite for FCPA training purposes in that the action covers a wide range of conduct (use of companies and agents without adequate due diligence, things of value such as sightseeing trips and cash payments for shopping, etc.) in several different countries (Kazakhstan, China, Mexico, Nigeria, and Indonesia).

So while you are cheering on your favorite team this September and enjoying Fall's harvest, don't forget about the FCPA as September could be a big month given reports of the numerous cases on enforcement officials' desks.
