      <title><![CDATA[U.S. Supreme Court Confirms that Limitations Period for Certain Federal Enforcement Actions Begins When Fraud Occurs; Application In FCPA Matters Remains Unclear]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[In Gabelli v. Securities and Exchange Commission, No. 11-1274, the United States Supreme Court unanimously concluded that the five-year statute of limitations applicable to actions brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking civil penalties begins to run when the alleged fraudulent conduct occurs rather than when it is discovered. In doing so, the Court declined to apply the “discovery rule” that is available in private actions—which delays accrual of certain fraud-based claims until they are discovered—to federal enforcement actions governed by 28 U.S.C. § 2462. The Gabelli case, one of the last “market timing” cases brought by the SEC, did not involve the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), but its application in that context will be of particular importance given the prevalence and time-consuming nature of those actions, which often challenge alleged conduct from many years prior. A recent decision in an FCPA case from the Southern District of New York, decided less than three weeks before Gabelli, reflects a more expansive view of the statute of limitations. In SEC v. Straub, No. 11 Civ. 9645 (RJS)—which interpreted a part of 28 U.S.C. § 2462 that was not at issue in Gabelli—the district judge concluded that a defendant must be physically present in the United States in order for the statute of limitations in Section 2462 to run. The Straub decision ultimately may be limited to its facts, however, and may be reconsidered by the District Court itself or reviewed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The decision nonetheless demonstrates the SEC’s expansive view of its authority to bring FCPA claims more than five years after alleged fraudulent conduct occurs.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[DOJ and SEC Issue FCPA Guidance]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[<P>The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have released <A href="http://www.justice.gov/criminal/fraud/fcpa/guide.pdf" target=_blank><STRONG><SPAN style="COLOR: #398cc4">new guidance</SPAN></STRONG></A> on the criminal and civil enforcement provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), entitled “A Resource Guide to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act” (herein, the “Guide”).</P>
<P>The 120-page Guide includes an extensive discussion of the FCPA and other statutes used in corruption investigations, provides helpful examples and hypotheticals, and discusses the government’s “Guiding Principles on Enforcement.” The Guide represents the government’s response to requests from Congress, the defense bar, members of the business community, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for additional clarity on the FCPA, and has been anticipated since November 8, 2011, when Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer announced that such guidance would be issued.</P>
<P>As expected, the Guide thoroughly consolidates and recites existing case law and resolutions and provides new examples of cases in which the DOJ or SEC previously issued declinations. While the Guide may be helpful to many, those expecting something groundbreaking may be disappointed, as the Guide does not provide any new substantive interpretations. Nor does it address many of the nuanced questions with which many companies grapple.</P>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[On August 21, 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announced its first “whistleblower” award under the Dodd-Frank Act.&nbsp;While the facts relating to the whistleblower and the related enforcement action were not identified, the particulars of the award were detailed in the SEC’s press release.&nbsp;The award grants the whistleblower $50,000 immediately— a thirty percent stake in the total monetary sanctions the SEC has collected in the action and the maximum percentage allowed by law.&nbsp;The whistleblower’s recovery will increase if the SEC collects additional sanctions.&nbsp;The award comes just over a year since the SEC issued the final whistleblower rules and signals the SEC’s intent to encourage whistleblowers to come forward both by issuing the maximum allowable award and by maintaining the whistleblower’s confidentiality.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[DOJ Provides FCPA Guidance for Mergers and Acquisitions; Continues Industry-Wide Investigations and Focus on China]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Recently, the Department of Justice reaffirmed its guidance as to what it views as the proper Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) compliance procedures in the context of mergers and acquisitions. On July 17, 2012, the Department announced a Non-Prosecution Agreement (“NPA”) with The NORDAM Group Inc., an Oklahoma-based company that provides aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul services. On August 7, 2012, the Department announced a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) with Pfizer H.C.P. Corp., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the global pharmaceutical company, Pfizer Inc. Both agreements incorporate FCPA compliance guidelines that contain elements related to mergers and acquisitions. The same elements have appeared in other agreements reached in 2012, including with Data Systems &amp; Solutions LLC and with BizJet International Sales and Support, Inc., and can be expected to appear in future resolutions. The NORDAM and Pfizer resolutions are also noteworthy for reflecting the Department’s continued focus on industry-wide investigations and bribery in China.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[On July 18, 2012, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) announced its first public enforcement action.

Simultaneously with the announcement of the Capital One action, the CFPB issued a compliance bulletin advising institutions within its supervision of the CFPB’s expectations regarding the marketing of these and other similar consumer financial products.]]></description>
