Experts from PwC Discuss Compliance Audits and Common Missteps

Compliance auditing is a critical component of an effective anti-corruption compliance program, recognized both by the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the government’s FCPA Resource Guide. A recent Strafford program, “FCPA Compliance Audits: Lessons From Recent Investigations,” discussed regulators’ expectations regarding compliance auditing, the process for scoping and conducting a compliance audit and common audit pitfalls. David A. Wilson, a partner at Thompson Hine, led the discussion, which featured Sulaksh Shah, a partner at PwC, and James Gargas, a director at that firm. This article discusses some of the key takeaways from the program.
