1. About the ACA<br />The Anti-Corruption Alliance (“ACA”) is an organization whose mission is to identify and stop corporate bribery and other corporate corruption. The ACA accomplishes that mission by facilitating the reporting by employees, former employees, and other individuals of corporate bribery and other corporate wrongdoing and helping to ensure that these individuals who report corporate corruption receive the financial rewards promised to them by the U.S. government.<br />The ACA was formed in the U.S. in the wake of new legislation called the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the U.S. government to pay a reward to individuals reporting corporate bribery and other wrongdoing. The amount of the reward must be at least 10% (but up to 30%) of the amount of any fine the company is required to pay the U.S. government as a result of the reported corporate wrongdoing. <br />To facilitate the payment of these awards to individuals, the ACA has formed relationships with attorneys and other consultants around the world. In the U.S., the ACA has formed relationships with attorneys and consultants who concentrate in these legal areas and have extensive experience in securing these types of rewards from the U.S. government on behalf of individuals who report corporate wrongdoing. Outside the U.S., the ACA has formed relationships with attorneys in most countries in the world to provide individuals reporting corporate wrongdoing with a local point of contact in the individual’s own country and with someone who speaks the individual’s native language. <br />Through its international relationships with attorneys in the U.S. and around the world, the ACA’s goal is to streamline the process by which individuals reporting corporate bribery and other wrongdoing can receive substantial rewards from the U.S. government and to ensure that the individual’s right to his reward is protected in U.S. legal proceedings.<br />
