Anti-Bribery and Corruption Investigations and Compliance

Regulators across the globe have dramatically stepped up enforcement of anti-bribery and corruption regulations, and this trend is expected to continue. In this environment, international organizations, particularly those operating in high-risk countries and industries, must ensure that their anti-bribery and corruption compliance programs are comprehensive and effective.

Navigant's team of experienced compliance, forensic accounting and investigative professionals includes former law enforcement officials, prosecutors, regulators, compliance officers and forensic accountants. These professionals understand the pressures and challenges companies face in situations involving actual bribery and corruption or merely accusations of questionable activity. Our team often works under attorney-client privilege, serving as an independent monitor and interacting directly with law enforcement and regulatory authorities.

CASE STUDY:

Investigation Uncovers Fraud

A Fortune 500 company faced allegations that an employee at one of their subsidiaries was engaged in potential vendor fraud. The client requested Navigant’s assistance in conducting an internal investigation.  In Navigant’s review of relevant records and documentation, we uncovered approximately $2M of fraudulent vendor payments over several years pursuant to a false billing scheme. Navigant handed over relevant evidence of the alleged fraud scheme to the United States Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. As a result of our efforts, the defendants plead guilty to mail fraud and were sentenced to serve time in federal prison.
