One of the biggest problems contributing to corporate corruption is not a lack of awareness of the law but a lack of corporate guidance and controls, according to a new study from law firm Hughes Hubbard & Reed.

In 2018’s FCPA & Anti-Bribery Alert, the firm noted that while awareness is nearly omnipresent, “it is clear at this point that just knowing the risks and common mistakes is not sufficient to avoid them. Companies must provide both guidance for avoiding the ‘[land] mines’ and controls to prevent employees from stepping on them.”
