The Intersection of the Dodd-Frank Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act: What All Practitioners, Whistleblowers, Defendants, and Corporations Need to Know
With the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act),1 government authorities are no longer the only ones with a monetary interest in ferreting out those who violate federal laws.
