Anti-Bribery Provisions of the FCPA
While the purpose and language of the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 
appear to be straightforward in nature, the statute is much more nuanced than is generally recognized. Its scope and means of application can be complex and can lead to dramatically unexpected results. Without a thorough knowledge of the FCPA, serious misunderstandings can and often do occur. Deming PLLC has the depth of experience and requisite knowledge to provide sound and reliable advice concerning the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Internal Controls and Record-Keeping Provisions of the FCPA
While Deming PLLC has extensive experience handling all aspects of the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, it has particular expertise related to the internal controls and record-keeping provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. These issues extend to various issues associated with maintaining accurate books and records, implementing adequate internal controls, and meeting the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley. In this regard, Deming PLLC assists companies, organizations, audit committees, law firms, and auditors with internal investigations related to violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act.
World Bank and Multilateral Development Banks
Deming PLLC works with firms and individuals subject to investigations and sanctions proceedings before the World Bank, the other multilateral development banks, and other international organizations. The advice and assistance provided extends to debarment proceedings, voluntary disclosures, and eligibility determinations.
Monitors and Independent Compliance Consultants
Deming PLLC is well-equipped in terms of having the requisite background, skills, and experience to serve as a monitor or independent compliance consultant for deferred or non-prosecution agreements involving the Justice Department or SEC, for the voluntary disclosure program of the World Bank, and in other contexts. Aside from being a leading authority and having an accounting background, Stuart H. Deming well understands the perspective of enforcement officials due to having served in various capacities with the Justice Department and with the SEC.
