Yibing Mao, chief legal counsel (Asia Pacific) and global senior vice president, Marriott International

Abstract

Being a multinational company, Marriott has to comply with the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act as well as local anti-corruption regulations. An important part of the legal team’s work is training associates and employees to understanding how the business should be operated in an ethical manner and in compliance with the aw, and providing education to business owners who have influence on the hotel. In recent years, Mao has seen an uptick in FCPA enforcement actions by the US Department of Justice in Asia.
