The FCPA Institute Online is the most comprehensive online FCPA training course available and is a time and cost efficient way for in-house and outside counsel; compliance professionals; finance, accounting, and auditing professionals; business executives and others to elevate their FCPA knowledge and practical skills.

The FCPA Institute Online consists of over 12 hours of narrated instruction from Professor Koehler (as well as availability to answer questions) and guides professionals through the following FCPA topics in an integrated and cohesive manner.

  • Why the FCPA became a law and what it seeks to accomplish;
  • How business organizations often become the subject of FCPA scrutiny and various realities of the global marketplace that often serve as root causes of FCPA scrutiny and enforcement;
  • A comprehensive understanding of the FCPA’s anti-bribery provisions and books and records and internal controls provisions including related enforcement theories;
  • The typical origins of FCPA scrutiny and enforcement including the prominence of corporate voluntary disclosures;
  • Facts and figures relevant to corporate and individual FCPA enforcement including how corporate settlement amounts are calculated and how DOJ and SEC enforcement policies and resolution vehicles impact FCPA enforcement;
  • Various practical reasons, as well as certain provocative reasons, for the general increase in FCPA enforcement in the modern era;
  • How settlement amounts in an actual FCPA enforcement action are often only a relatively minor component of the overall financial consequences that can result from FCPA scrutiny or enforcement because of the FCPA’s many other “ripples.”

In addition to the above substantive knowledge, the FCPA Institute Online develops in-demand, practical skills to best minimize risk through:

  • FCPA issue-spotting video exercises along with model answers;
