On December 1, Mark spoke on a panel on “The Biden Administration’s National Security Study Memorandum (NSSM): Predictions on the Global Enforcement Aftermath and Evolving Risk Landscape.” The session explored President Biden’s recent directive establishing the fight against corruption as a core U.S. national security interest, including what, if any new anti-corruption legislation will likely be proposed; whether increased coordination and information-sharing between US law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as well as international partners, will increase the effectiveness of FCPA enforcement; and related topics.
