Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (CFPOA): Legal and Risk Management Comments

Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption enforcement activity is getting a lot of exposure thanks to the Niko Resources case, here. The case might be over-exposed, but that is because it is the only case involving the CFPOA in Canada’s recent history.
