Now in its sixth edition, the American Bar Association’s best-selling anticorruption resource, The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Handbook, remains the go-to reference for both law students launching their careers and experienced practitioners advising clients on complex compliance issues. As noted by Eileen Kamerick, Adjunct Professor of Law at The University of Chicago Law School, Georgetown University Law Center, and the University of Iowa College of Law, it is a “critical resource” for legal professionals at every stage.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Handbook, Sixth Edition delivers clear, practical guidance on anticorruption compliance and investigations. It thoroughly explains the statute’s anti-bribery and accounting provisions, along with the civil and criminal penalties that may result from violations.

The book examines common transactions and real-world scenarios that pose anticorruption risks for multinational companies, with particular emphasis on the use of third-party intermediaries and representatives—an issue implicated in nearly 90 percent of DOJ and SEC FCPA enforcement actions.

Updated for 2024, the Sixth Edition refreshes key chapters and expands its analysis of critical corporate issues, including the fiduciary duties of officers and directors and FCPA risks arising in mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures. New to this edition is a comprehensive final chapter analyzing six criminal FCPA trials of individual defendants over the past seven years, offering insight into government theories, defense strategies, and the sentences sought by the DOJ and imposed by federal district courts.
