"In the first half of 2015, we've seen an incredible demand for information on Brazil and the Clean Company Act. With Brazil being a key focal point of anti-corruption inquiries, Merrill Brink has translated the latest Brazil Integrity Program guidance on this law, and as a courtesy we are making it available to the global FCPA, ethics and compliance community. Hopefully this guidance will assist consultants and in-house practitioners to formulate an effective Code of Conduct and anti-corruption compliance program for their Brazilian operations," says Jim Moore, executive vice president of Merrill Brink.
