How are companies combating the risk of corruption when doing business in Latin America? A new survey of corporations throughout the region reports an increase in the adoption of compliance measures and greater awareness of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act — while also illustrating the persistent sentiment that effective laws and enforcement are wanting.

Led by U.S. firms Miller Chevalier and Matteson Ellis Law, and in partnership with 12 other law firms in Latin America, the latest “Latin America Corruption Survey” took stock of anticorruption efforts at both multinationals and regional companies. A total of 439 respondents from 14 countries in the region, in addition to the United States, took part.
