Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Compliance
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) prohibits certain U.S. and foreign businesses from making corrupt payments to foreign officials to obtain or retain business.
The FCPA also requires covered companies to make and keep accurate books and records, and to maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls, as well as prohibit individuals and businesses from knowingly falsifying books and records. The Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) share FCPA enforcement authority.
