At the #2025TRACEForum, Erika Vidal-Faulkenberry of Biogen highlighted the volatility of tariffs, sanctions & FTOs. With rising risks in global trade, companies must adapt compliance programs, avoid assuming U.S. rules apply, or are the same across countries, and ensure multi-layered due diligence.
September 12, 2025 at 7:03 PM
At the 2025 TRACE Forum, Nicola Bonucci reflected on 25 years of OECD Anti-Bribery enforcement. While the framework is strong, risks for U.S. firms include bribe solicitation, cross-border probes & rising scrutiny—making today’s landscape less predictable.
September 12, 2025 at 6:15 PM
At the 2025 TRACE Forum, Dipo Akin-Deko of BowerGroupAsia discussed how AI and data analytics can transform compliance with predictive alerts, vendor scoring, and efficiency gains. While generative AI opens new possibilities, compliance must remain human-led especially as global regulations evolve.

Kicking off Day Two of the 2025 TRACE Forum, Dan Seltzer of Accenture highlighted that while definitions of corruption are consistent globally, nearly everything else varies. Decentralization is here to stay, the FCPA remains the gold standard, and U.S. companies face rising foreign scrutiny.
September 12, 2025 at 4:05 PM
At the end of Day One of the 2025 TRACE Forum, attendees viewed Bribe, Inc., an investigative documentary on the Unaoil scandal, told through the eyes of the whistleblower and journalist who exposed one of the largest corporate bribery cases in modern history.
September 12, 2025 at 3:40 PM
At the 2025 TRACE Forum, Charles Cain emphasized that enforcement is “back to basics.” While it appears the SEC no longer has a dedicated FCPA unit and the number of cases may be limited, a meaningful enforcement program is anticipated, with foreign governments stepping in.
September 12, 2025 at 3:14 PM
At the 2025 TRACE Forum, Gordon McKechnie noted Canada’s shift from the U.S. toward Europe and Asia, diverging foreign policies, and tariff impacts. While USMCA talks may be tough, critical minerals and strong individual ties could help ease tensions.
September 12, 2025 at 2:36 PM
At the 2025 TRACE Forum, Tanya Roychowdhury of Lenovo, and Max Voldman of Whistleblower Partners emphasized that whistleblowers report because they feel unheard. Companies that listen and act on reports not only reduce risk but also build trust and gain a competitive edge.
September 12, 2025 at 1:29 PM
At the #2025TRACEForum, Chuck Duross of Morrison Foerster outlined the evolution of DOJ’s voluntary self-disclosure policies. Since the 2016 FCPA Pilot Program, DOJ has rewarded timely disclosure, cooperation, and remediation with declinations or penalty cuts—though risks remain case-specific.
September 12, 2025 at 11:51 AM
At the 2025 TRACE Forum, Misti Mukherjee of Extensio Law, and Debra Joy Pérez of USP, emphasized that DEI is not a side hustle—it’s a core driver of compliance, performance, and resilience. Top organizations embed DEI into business processes as a foundation for performance, innovation and trust.

At the 2025 TRACE Forum, Kirk Foster of HII, highlighted that ERM and compliance aren’t mutually exclusive. Leveraging ERM as a strategic compass can support forward-looking compliance, data driven decision making, reduce redundancy, increase operational efficiency, and enable business growth.
