Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence: Understanding FOCI Compliance for Your Business

Event Details

Instructor: Ivor Newman, Procurement Counselor

Join this webinar to understand your responsibilities as a small business engaging in government contracts to be compliant with FOCI regulations. 

FOCI is a state that may affect a company’s ability to qualify for or maintain an entity eligibility determination, also known as a Facility Security Clearance (FCL).

A U.S. company is under FOCI when a foreign person or entity has the power to direct or decide matters affecting the business’s management or operations, especially in a manner that could result in unauthorized access to certain information or may adversely affect the performance of certain contracts or the ability to influence the appointment or election of board members.

It is important for companies to be aware of any FOCI risks because being under FOCI can lead to unauthorized access to classified or proprietary information or adversely affect contract performance.

It is imperative for you to identify any areas of your business that might be under FOCI. Doing so will not only protect our national security, but it will help keep your business secure and profitable.
