AFA 2018 Annual Report

8 July 2019

On 21st June 2019, the Agence Française Anticorruption, the French anti-corruption agency in charge of monitoring corporate compliance programs (the "AFA") published its annual report providing key figures on audits conducted in 2018. Over the past two years, this newly established regulator has audited companies to verify their compliance with the ABC obligations imposed by Article 17 of Law No. 2016-1691 on transparency, the fight against bribery and the modernisation of economic activity (the so-called "Sapin II Law"). While the first annual report in 2018 provided only high-level information, this second report gives a good overview of the AFA's expectations of anti-bribery programs.
