About this episode

In this episode, Tom Fox discusses the Foreign Extortion Prevention Act and its implications for compliance programs.

Welcome to 31 Days to a More Effective Compliance Program. Over this 31-day series in January 2026, Tom Fox will post a key component of a best-practice compliance program each day. By the end of January, you will have enough information to create, design, or enhance a compliance program. Each podcast will be short, at 6-8 minutes, with three key takeaways that you can implement at little or no cost to help update your compliance program. I hope you will join each day in January for this exploration of best practices in compliance. In today’s Day 30 episode, we discuss the Foreign Extortion Prevention Act (FEPA), a significant piece of legislation that fills a critical gap in the FCPA.
