Stuart H. Deming, Designing an Effective Anti-Bribery Compliance Program: A Practical Guide for Business, ABA Publishing (2018.)

In a single, concise publication, Designing an Effective Anti-Bribery Compliance Program:  A Practical Guide for Business successfully integrates the critical factors that require consideration in designing and implementing an effective anti-bribery compliance program.  It provides a practical framework that is invaluable in almost any legal setting.

Official guidance and enforcement actions of the United State and the United Kingdom are addressed as part of a roadmap for complying with the basic tenants of the FCPA and UK Bribery Act.  Yet consideration is given to the critical aspects of other legal regimes as well as the guidance issued by respected international organizations.  Included is a checklist of key components of an effective compliance program and sample compliance provisions for third-party agreements.

Stuart H. Deming, Anti-Bribery Laws in Common Law Jurisdictions, Oxford University Press (2014).

Anti-Bribery Laws in Common Law Jurisdictions provides a comprehensive analysis of the foreign bribery laws and of related laws and regulations in key common law jurisdictions. This book extensively addresses the official guidance associated with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act, and explains the related legal obligations that apply to record-keeping practices and maintaining adequate internal controls. Foreign bribery legislation in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and South Africa are also extensively addressed.

This book published by Oxford University Press also closely focuses on laws that may expose an individual or entity to private or commercial bribery in foreign settings, as well as to the application of laws relating to money laundering, accounting, and record-keeping practices to situations involving foreign bribery. Throughout, special attention is given to explaining the criteria used in each jurisdiction to establish liability on the part of an entity or organization for foreign bribery.

Stuart H. Deming, The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the New International Norms, Second Edition, ABA Publishing (2010).

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the New International Norms, Second Edition, also a best-seller, builds upon the best-selling first edition. Practitioners, corporate counsel, accountants, compliance officials, and anyone engaged in international business are provided with a useful and practical overview of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as well as the implications of the international conventions that now bear on the prohibition of payments to foreign officials.

The two principal mechanisms of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act – the anti-bribery provisions and the accounting and record-keeping provisions – are addressed in a clear and concise manner that makes these complex provisions understandable to the uninformed. At the same time, countless footnotes and the inclusion of key source materials provide useful insights for anyone seeking to understand the nuances of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

In addition to providing samples of compliance policies and contract language, extensive practical advice is provided as to how to make compliance programs more effective.

Stuart H. Deming, The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the New International Norms, ABA Publishing (2005).

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the New International Norms was the first publication of its kind to explain in a clear and concise manner the FCPA’s anti-bribery provisions as well as the  accounting and record-keeping provisions.  How the accounting and record-keeping provisions are applied is described in such a way as to provide practical guidance to practitioners and business managers in designing and implementing effective internal controls and compliance programs.

This highly-sought first edition lays out and provides perspective on  international developments associated with the adoption and ratification of a host of related international anti-bribery conventions.
