In 2009, Anti-Corruption and FCPA Enforcement Will Affect More Companies in Russia and the CIS than Ever Before. Can your Internal Anti-Corruption Compliance Program Withstand the Impact of a Government Investigation?
Multinational companies doing business or investing in the Russian Federation and CIS countries face complex and unique anti-corruption challenges.

Such pervasive corruption has sometimes caused international investors to cease operations altogether. Local leaders have responded by taking steps to reduce corruption. Most notably, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed the new anti-corruption legislation package last year, and on January 9, 2010 the new Anti-Corruption Law came into force. In the last year, more than 6,000 criminal cases have been initiated under the new legislation.
