  • Developments in U.S. and International Efforts to Prevent Corruption
    \\server05\productn\I\INL\41-2\INL225.txt unknown Seq: 1 5-JUN-07 17:07 Developments in U.S. and International Efforts to Prevent Corruption MARGARET AYRES, JOHN DAVIS, NICOLE HEALY AND ALEXANDRA WRAGE* I. Introduction In 2006, U.S. enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) was book- ended by major policy pronouncements by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Each pronouncement focused on the roles of cooperation and disclosure by defendants in the agencies’ decisions regarding charging and penalties in FCPA cases. The year 2006 also featured a substantial increase in FCPA cases against individuals. Seven of the eleven announced cases focused on individuals, a trend unprecedented in the history of the statute. Six of those cases were against execu- tives of companies that previously had settled FCPA-related charges. Internationally, anti-corruption efforts appeared to be on the increase. The United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) reached eighty ratifications,1 including the United States. The first Conference of States Parties was held in Amman, Jordan in December 2006.2 II. U.S. Developments The year began with the SEC’s Statement Concerning Financial Penalties.3 Issued by a unanimous Commission in conjunction with the announcement of two non-FCPA settle- ments, the statement highlighted not only cooperation and remediation by the companies involved, but also refocused the penalty calculations regarding the possible effects of large fines on current shareholders in securities-related cases. The Commission noted that “clarity, consistency, and predictability” of decisions on corporate penalties are “impor- * This report was prepared by the ABA International Section’s Anti-Corruption Initiatives and Compli- ance Issues Committee.

I’m calling on you to finally implement this proposal."

Apart from any fair dealing for the purposes of study, research, criticism, review, or as otherwise permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission. Inquiries should be made to the publisher. Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.
