The eBook I mentioned in my previous post provides a refresher on Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) compliance approaches as well as a look at how analytics can strengthen FCPA compliance capabilities.

Today, “eBooks” range from dashed-off slide decks to World Economic Forum-worthy novellas. Fortunately, this 29-pager, “Don’t Get Bitten by the FCPA: Leveraging Audit Analytics for Compliance Testing,” qualifies as “literate PowerPoint.” It’s easy enough to click through the electronic document to flag relevant data.

This information includes:

• A summary of the FCPA and of growing regulatory scrutiny of compliance with the act;

• A rundown of the act’s anti-bribery and accounting provisions;

• A list of FCPA compliance best practices (as cited by the U.S. Department of Justice); and

• An introduction to how audit analytics can assist the compliance effort (mainly via the automated red-flagging of potentially suspect transactions and vendors). ###
