ICI Webinars on the Implications for U.S. Mutual Funds of the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act: Parts 1 and 2

In light of the SEC’s increased focus on enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the enactment of the UK Bribery Act, and the increasingly global nature of our members’ business, ICI has recently conducted two webinars on the implications for U.S. mutual funds. The first of these webinars was conducted on April 12, 2011, and provided a detailed overview of these laws. The second webinar was conducted on July 21, 2011, and largely consisted of a discussion of how the laws would apply to several hypothetical situations involving mutual funds or their advisers. It also provided compliance guidance and practical advice that funds or their advisers may want to consider in putting together a compliance program in response to these laws. Payment of one registration fee provides access to both parts of this webinar series.
