In recent years, countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Peru, have revamped their anti-corruption laws to facilitate corporations’ prosecution and establish requirements or mitigation credit for companies’ anti-corruption compliance programs. Under Mexican law, when determining a corporation’s liability, law enforcement authorities must evaluate, among other aspects, the existence of proper controls within the company, such as adequate investigative methods. This has triggered a new form of corporate awareness in Mexico. Some companies are facing consequences for failing to comply with anti-corruption laws, specifically with the legal requirements, guidelines, and best practices to create and implement compliance programs.
