“Martin and Daniel Biegelman have done it again.  While the FCPA has been an issue for decades, it has taken center stage over the past few years and all signs point to it having an even greater impact on businesses going forward. The Biegelmans’ have built a comprehensive tool for all levels of interest – from the practitioner to the CEO, this is a book that should be mandatory reading for those touching international business.”
—Dan Wachtler, CEO, IPSA International, Inc.

“As the FCPA quickly becomes one of the world’s true International Laws, compliance is essential for corporate accountability and integrity. The FCPA is a critical component of a free market system that rewards hard-working, honest individuals and companies, and strongly pursues violators. The Biegelmans’ FCPA Compliance Guidebook isn’t just about a regulation; it’s about building a successful and compliant global economy.
—Roy Snell, CEO, Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics

“Martin along with his son Daniel have written the authoritative standard on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. It is a must read for any Compliance or Ethics personnel looking to better understand this complex issue.”

“Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations are the current focus of regulators, investigators, and prosecutors, here and abroad. This exhaustive text explores the legal nooks and crannies with exacting precision, but it’s most important contribution is the emphasis on compliance and prevention, areas that the authors know well. Through numerous illustrations of extraordinary crimes and splendid compliance and prevention techniques, the authors establish FCPA awareness and compliance as a sine qua non for doing business globally. A must-read for businesses wishing to avoid massive fines and/or imprisonment.”
—George E. Curtis, J.D., Executive Director of the Economic Crime Institute, Utica College

“Martin and Daniel Biegelmans’ work will go down in American corporate and financial lore as a comprehensive history of the series of train wrecks that have yielded the FCPA and its various progeny. It tells the fascinating story of how we got from the Lockheed disclosures of the mid-1970s to the hottest area of white collar practice today. It is required reading for those of us struggling to implement global compliance programs. Those unenlightened ones who remain committed to the dark side would also do well to read it, and take warning.”
—Keith Hennessee, Associate General Counsel, Halliburton Company
