.................................................................................. 143 Jones Day Introduction to the 2016-2017 Anti-Corruption Regulation Survey Welcome to the 2016-2017 edition of the Jones Day Anti-Corruption Regulation Survey of Select Countries. We have used the same uniform format for each of the 40 country summaries that we used in previous iterations of this Survey. That format is explained below. In 2016 and 2017 to date, there has continued to be an increasing awareness among multinational companies of the significance of anti-corruption regulations in foreign countries and the potential risk of violating these regulations or being associated with companies or individuals that have violated such regulations. A number of countries made significant changes to their anti-corruption regulations in 2016 and 2017 to date, including, among others, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, France, Kenya and Mexico. Other countries included in this Survey have indicated significant changes to anti-corruption regulations are under consideration or have cracked down in their enforcement of anti-corruption regulations in response to shifts in political climate or due to enhanced coordination among governmental agencies (in certain cases, enhanced international coordination across country borders). This Survey is intended to provide an overview of the complex and evolving anti-corruption regulations in 40 developed and developing countries. Ways in which this Survey may be useful will vary depending on a company’s situation and needs. A few examples follow: • Due diligence. This Survey may be useful to give a sense of key aspects of anti-corruption regulations that apply to potential M&A targets and joint venture partners. • Prospective business partners. If a company is considering entering into a relationship with a business partner (e.g., vendor or customer) from another country, this Survey may be useful in giving a sense of potential areas of risk in relation to the partner’s local business activities. • Considering efficacy of compliance programs. This Survey may be helpful in considering whether and how to develop a compliance program, whether on a national, regional or global basis. As a starting point, one needs to have an understanding of whether a particular action (for example, certain gifts or entertainment) would violate local regulations. In this Survey, the countries are organized by region and then alphabetically by country. For each country, the same categories are covered. They include, among others: (i) whether bribery of domestic and foreign public officials is prohibited; (ii) what “public official” means; (iii) whether and to what extent gifts, entertainment and travel benefits are regulated; (iv) issues in enforcement; and (v) recent developments. This Survey also identifies the CPI scores and ranks of each country covered herein. CPI refers to the Corruption Perceptions Index, published by Transparency International, which scores and ranks countries around the world based on perceived levels
