Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "surrogate value").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead. (e.g., CIT).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., CBP +ruling).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., ruling -NY).

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls") or "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

2023 Saw Decline in FCPA Penalties, Financial Settlements
January 5, 2024 |Penalties

The U.S. brought enforcement actions under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act against 13 companies in 2023, resulting in $776 million in penalties, a drop from the $1.5 billion in penalties announced in 2022 but up from $282 million in penalties from 2021, a Jan. 2 FCPA Blog post said. While the 2023 penalty total value was lower than in 2022, there were more companies penalized than in either 2022 or 2021, which saw eight and four companies, respectively, penalized. The blog said the average resolution amount announced by DOJ and the SEC was $59.6 million, with total financial settlements the lowest since 2021 and the second lowest since 2015.
