Breakwater Accounting Advisors LLP.

Anti-corruption Services

We assist with the design, implementation and delivery of effective compliance programs to protect management and shareholders

Is your company an SEC registrant required to comply with the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act?

How about similar legislation enacted by Canada and the other 36 countries who are signatories to the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials?

Over the past five years the international community, and in particular the US, have taken a much tougher stance against corruption. This has led to increased criminalization of corrupt acts and the investigation and prosecution of individual executives who are no longer protected by their corporate shield.

In this current environment of increased litigation and exceedingly large fines, Boards and Management need to ensure that an effective compliance program is in place to show their due diligence over the potential for corruption.

Breakwater will work with management and staff to design, implement, and/or assess the key elements of an effective anti-corruption program:

Entity level Support
Risk Assessment
Risk Mitigation
Monitoring and Response
Remediation
