FATCA Withholding from a Security Master and Payment Perspective
Presented at Nordic FATCA & Withholding Tax Congress Stockholm, Sweden June 12-13, 2013

Additionally, remaining economic headwinds that prevail in the United States will be examined.
Emploment law issues for the gig economyRoger Royse
Discussion on misclassification of employment, managing risks of employment, strategies for avoiding misclassification, and changes in the legal landscape with regards to employment
The Federal Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) prohibits a U.S. company or person from bribing foreign government officials to obtain a business advantage. Along with this seemingly simple restriction comes accounting and record keeping requirements with which companies must comply. The FCPA requires the implementation of a compliance program which addresses FCPA concerns and establishes an FCPA corporate policy. This webinar covers the basics of the FCPA, including an introduction to the regulators, both the SEC and DOJ, and recent communications to the public regarding the FCPA from these regulatory bodies. The standards for a compliance program review is analyzed, including what makes a program current and effective as well as how often the program requires review. The role of a compliance coordinator is discussed, as is record keeping, training, and retaliation. Finally, meals and entertainment, gifts, travel, charitable contributions, and hiring are all discussed with reference to recent government actions and legal decisions.

How Should COVID Experience be Used for Setting Future Mortality Webcast - 20...MarkSpong1

We’ll also quantify and compare some of these approaches drawing from a recent SOA expert opinion survey on COVID-19 and short term impacts on future US mortality.
