And be sure to check out our latest white paper! - What Major League Baseball Has in Common With the FCPA
With baseball season in full swing, Oversight wanted to get in on the fun! Our newest white paper, “What Major League Baseball Has in Common with the FCPA,” compares the state of recent FCPA violations (Avon, Morgan Stanley) with the MLB steroid scandals of the 90’s. The baseball comparison makes FCPA enforcement easier to understand, and we think this is one of our best white papers yet!
