SEC Subpoenas Flowserve Corporation Related to FCPA Investigation

FCPA SEC DOJ

On July 30, Flowserve Corporation, a global supplier of industrial pumps, valves, and seals, disclosed that the SEC had issued a subpoena in connection with an investigation of potential FCPA violations. Flowserve revealed earlier this year that it had terminated an employee of an overseas subsidiary for conduct that violated its Code of Business Conduct and “may have violated” the FCPA. It self-reported the matter to the SEC and the DOJ and has now completed an internal investigation. Flowserve stated that it “currently believe[s] that this matter will not have a material adverse financial impact,” but that there are no assurances that it will not be subjected to penalties and additional costs.
