Compendium

The TRACE Compendium is a user-friendly and fully searchable database of comprehensive, yet succinct, summaries of international anti-bribery enforcement actions. Most actions included in the TRACE Compendium are Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) enforcement actions brought by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and/or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). However, the TRACE Compendium also includes the growing number of international anti-bribery enforcement actions brought by enforcement authorities outside of the United States, particularly amongst signatories to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.

Enforcement activity included in the TRACE Compendium share two characteristics: first, the conduct at issue – the bribery – must cross an international border; second, the bribery must be of a government official.  Domestic anti-bribery investigations and enforcement matters involving commercial bribery purely between private parties are not included in the TRACE Compendium.
