Keynote: Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

Keynote: Our Greatest Adversities do not have to be the End!
Craig Stanland: In 2012, Craig Stanland made a choice that would cost him everything. After exploiting the warranty policy of one of the largest tech companies in the world for almost a year, the FBI finally knocked on his door. He was arrested and sentenced to 2 years of Federal Prison, followed by 3 years of Supervised Release, and ordered to pay $834,307 in restitution. He lost his wife, his homes, his cars, his career, and even his identity. He wanted nothing more than to die. A well-timed prison visit from his best friend of over thirty years turned his life around. Today, Craig is a Reinvention Architect & Mindset Coach, TEDx speaker, and best-selling author. His book, "Blank Canvas, How I Reinvented My Life After Prison" is available on Amazon.

Workshop – How to Conduct a Fraud Risk Assessment for USA Companies with Operations in Latin America, presented by Victor Padilla, Managing Director, Weaver & Diego Sierra, Partner, Von Wobeser y Sierra Law Firm
The aftermath of high profile FCPA-related cases in Latin America including Petróleo Brasileiro S.A., Odebrecht S.A., and Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A, combined with the pernicious effects of the COVID-19-related shutdowns of economies around the world created increasingly challenging environments for USA companies operating abroad.
Our presenters will provide guidance to conduct an effective FCPA risk assessment for USA companies with operations in Latin American countries. Through a combination of professional experience and case studies, the presenters will provide insight on how to assess FCPA risk exposure based on company factors such as industry, business type, import/export activities, interactions with foreign government officials, state of internal controls, reduced budgets, layoffs, supply chain issues, and a distributed workforce, to name a few.
Make sure you assess on a recurring basis whether your FCPA programs account for risks associated with recent trends. FCPA enforcement activity is here to stay.
Learning Objectives
Understand the attributes of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act that affect business operations in Latin America.
Identify critical risk factors and utilize risk assessment techniques for audit planning purposes.
Develop an understanding of the FCPA-related challenges related to risk assessment.
