In a new Bloomberg Law article, attorneys from Akerman's White Collar and International Practices provide an in-depth look at the White House's executive order pausing Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement. The article explores the significant implications the decision could have for both U.S. and foreign companies.

While it may signal a shift in priorities, it doesn't necessarily mean less enforcement.. Despite the temporary halt, companies should maintain robust anti-corruption compliance programs, as the FCPA remains in effect and enforcement policies may change. Foreign companies that may be subject to jurisdiction in the United States should be particularly vigilant in improving their compliance initiatives.
