The Investigations Review of the Americas 2019

This annual report gives readers the ‘front-line’ view from selected practitioners. Some have focused on enforcement areas, such as sanctions and cyber breach – whereas others have taken a thematic approach (eg, looking at the mechanisms which enforcers use to interact, and how those can impact a cross-border investigation). Rounding out the content, the publication also includes overviews from the World Bank and the Brazilian CGU, providing insight from the ‘enforcer’ point of view.
