Should an FCPA Matter Change your eDiscovery Approach? [Law.com]

Getting your e-discovery house in order for an FCPA matter requires a clear understanding of what makes FCPA matters unique, and the toolset and expertise to address those challenges.

Corruption allegations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) typically hit companies hard. An FCPA investigation is almost always unexpected and it immediately places the organization under tight, government-imposed deadlines to produce relevant information. This can be quite disruptive to day-to-day business. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners’ 2018 Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse, just 15 percent of corporate fraud is detected by internal audits, which suggests that traditional information management tools and protocols cannot be counted on to avert a potential disaster.
