US Judicial System

Corruption in the US judiciary is a low risk for companies. Foreign companies perceive the US judicial system as independent and efficient ( GCR 2015-2016 ). The Securities and Exchange Commission , an independent government organ tasked with enforcing FCPA regulations, protecting investors and regulating the securities markets, has increasingly come under attack for its use of internal administrative procedures and in-house judges instead of Federal Courts ( WSJ , Aug. 2015).
