criminal liability of corporations
-
In the US, much of the legal commentary surrounding corporate criminal liability focuses upon the propriety of forcing corporations to waive attorney-client and work product privileges. Given that corporations are complying with the Dept of Justice's guidelines regarding criminal investigations of corporate conduct, its employees are forced to cooperate or risk losing their jobs. Rather than attempting to determine the fairness of placing an employee's job at risk based upon his choice to remain silent during a corporate investigation, Waters instead focuses upon the effect a costly Fifth Amendment right to silence might have upon an employee's response to an internal investigation.

Eleventh Survey of White Collar Crime
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 was enacted in response to bribery of foreign officials by US corporations, and it imposes criminal liability for bribes and violations of accounting rules. The Act augments the Securities Exchange Act in requiring certain types of record-keeping by corporations already subject to securities registration laws. Certain types of payments to foreign public officials and related parties are banned under the bribery provisions, though affirmative defenses exist for payments and gifts that are lawful in the foreign official's country.
