In this episode of Whistleblower of the Week, host Jane Turner speaks with Stephen M. Kohn, co-Founder and Board Chairman of National Whistleblower Center and leading whistleblower attorney.
On February 10th, President Trump halted enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) in an Executive Order, arguing the move would aid American business abroad. Listen to Kohn and Turner discuss how this decision will impact American business and whistleblowers reporting bribery, corruption, and collusion.
On March 13th, Kohn published an article, “Crippling the FCPA is Bad Business for the U.S” in the NYU Compliance and Enforcement Blog. He highlights his recent research which illustrates how FCPA enforcement primarily targets foreign companies, with monetary sanctions against foreign companies far outpacing sanctions against U.S-based companies.
National Whistleblower Center has launched a campaign to call for the resuming of FCPA enforcements. Take action today by contacting your Representatives and Senators.
