The EU Anti-Corruption Directive: From Paper Programs to Compliance That Holds Up

#1752151: The EU Anti-Corruption Directive: From Paper Programs to Compliance That Holds Up

Description:	Join us as we discuss the EU Anti-Corruption Directive—what changed, why it matters now, and what to do next before the 2028 transposition deadline arrives. Highlights Learn what actually changed: the shift from mostly FCPA based global compliance programs to a broader EU liability standard, in plain terms Understand why “2028” is misleading: the practical reasons readiness work needs to start well before the transposition deadline Learn where the real exposure tends to sit: the areas of a compliance program most likely to have gaps, without prescribing a fix for your specific situation Learn how to start a gap assessment: a framework for figuring out where your program stands, so you walk away with a next step, not just a reading list The math changed first. Everything else follows from it. In June 2025, the US DOJ recalibrated FCPA enforcement to prioritize corruption cases tied to national interests – including those involving cartels, transnational criminal organizations, or harm to US companies. Twelve months later, the EU Anti-Corruption Directive moved toward broader offense categories, extraterritorial reach, and global turnover-based fines. Two shifts, same year, different logic. Compliance and risk leaders now have to answer a harder question than “Are we FCPA-compliant?” They must now answer the question, "Is our program built for a standard the EU Directive hasn’t fully defined yet, and won’t be tested in court for years?" This session is built for that question. It’s not legal advice — it’s the practical briefing compliance and risk leaders need to understand what’s changed, why the timeline matters more than it looks, and where to focus first.
