In this edition, GIR asks: have we reached Peak Penalty?
While our analysis shows that the number of enforcement actions is on the rise, the total level of associated penalties has dropped from a high of US$65 billion in 2014 to US$36 billion in 2016. In this issue, we take a look behind the headline figures and ask whether we’re likely to see such sizeable enforcement actions in future.
GIR also speaks to lawyers who questioned the value of self-reporting in the wake of Rolls-Royce’s DPA, after the company obtained the settlement without coming forward to the authorities.
Elsewhere, we provide write-ups of 3 conferences: GIR London, ABA Miami, and the OECD’s Global Anti-Corruption and Integrity Forum in Paris.
