Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is a U.S. federal law that prohibits companies and individuals from bribing foreign government officials to obtain or retain business. FCPA enforcement has intensified dramatically in recent years, with the DOJ and SEC bringing increasingly large cases against U.S. and foreign companies.

FCPA Provisions

• Anti-Bribery Provisions: Prohibit paying, offering, or authorizing payments to foreign officials to obtain or retain business.
• Accounting Provisions: Require public companies to maintain accurate books and records and adequate internal controls.
