12 FCPA ACCOUNTING PROVISIONS The Books and Records Provisions: Public companies must make and keep books, records and accounts which accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer Books must accurately reflect that the payment is a bribe Public companies must devise and maintain a system of internal accounting controls that provide reasonable assurances that the transactions are properly authorized Devise and maintain an effective systems of internal controls to detect or prevent violations of the FCPA, including due diligence on resellers, consultants, and training for employees 12

18 KEYS TO FBI INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS Work with local authorities and regulators. Strengthen existing relationships while expanding to other partners. Embedded Agents in Europe, Asia, Africa, S. America. Intelligence Sharing. Continue to foster relationships with business and industry.

19 FBI LEGATS FBI international presence consists of our Legal Attaché offices, located in over 70 key cities worldwide, providing coverage to more than 200 countries, territories, and islands. 19

20 INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION Makes US investigations overseas more effective. Gives investigators and prosecutors better access to witnesses, documents, and evidence; removes many hurdles faced in international investigations. Reciprocal benefits to foreign governments and foreign law enforcement. Facilitates prosecutions in multiple countries. More countries now have laws making bribery illegal. Many countries have joined against corruption and are assisting international investigations and prosecutions. We ve come a long way. 10 years ago bribe payments were still a tax deductible expense in many European countries. 20

21 FBI COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE Dedicate more resources to target international violations. This July Special Agents were added around the globe to address these issues. Special Investigative Units compiled in 7 locations in the U.S. to include DC, New York and Los Angeles
