An overview of the anticorruption lawThe new French anticorruption law on
transparency, fight against corruption and the modernisation of the economy
(“Sapin II”) promises to bring significant changes in French domestic law and
imposes new obligations on large French and foreign businesses. Sapin II
clearly follows an international trend towards tougher and more transparent
anticorruption laws and a large part of Sapin II provisions have obviously
been influenced by other anticorruption standards such as notably the US
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act. This publication
describes these three regulations allowing the reader to understand the major
factors and provisions within these laws that are now governing the fight
against corruption in the world of globalisation.
