This program will cover the main aspects addressed in the new law such as the penalties imposed, incentives for companies to establish and enforce effective compliance programs, leniency provisions and incentives for companies to self-report violations, impact on multinational companies doing business in Brazil and how they can prepare their existing compliance programs, impact on companies conducting internal investigations in Brazil and other relevant aspects.
