The broad definition of “foreign influence” set out in the legislation means that virtually every organization working with foreign governments, state-owned enterprises, international institutions, sovereign wealth funds, foreign public sector pension plans and other foreign-linked entities will need to quickly develop a strong understanding of the scope and practical implications of the Act.
Join Blakes lawyers as they discuss the key features of the new regime, compliance considerations, governance best practices, and the steps organizations can take to prepare for heightened regulatory scrutiny and enforcement.
