Les lois anticorruption brésilienne et canadienne et leurs effets sur la compliance des entreprises au Brésil
The purpose of this study is to understand the influence of Canadian and Brazilian anti-corruption laws in compliance programs in Brazil. For that, the research will be divided into three parts. The first part will analyze the corruption itself, its definitions, its history in Canada, Brazil and in the world. Understanding the history of the fight against corruption, of the national laws, and the main conventions adopted over the years to reduce its harmful effects will help us get a better idea of the current scenario in Brazil. In a second part, we will better understand the corruption in Canada and Brazil, as well as efforts to combat it in those two countries over the years. This will be done through an overview of the history and the adopted legislations. In the last part, we will look into compliance programs to better understand how this subject has evolved in Brazil in recent years, under the influence of these two national laws. This work adopts the deductive research method, and analyzes existing doctrines, articles and laws. The main question is: how have the new Brazilian and Canadian anti-corruption laws changed compliance programs in Brazil? Compliance consists on policies and procedures designed to detect, combat and correct irregularities in the business sphere, generally associated with corrupt practices, developing a culture of ethics, integrity and preventing wrongdoing. It is one of the main distractors and generators of inequality in the economy, and therefore, compliance plays a fundamental role in this work.
