FCPA

Compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) has emerged as one of the largest enforcement campaigns being conducted by the U.S. government. The FCPA has two provisions: anti-bribery and accounting. The anti-bribery provisions make it a crime for any U.S. individual, business entity, or employee of a U.S. business entity to offer or provide, directly or through a third party, anything of value to a foreign government official with corrupt intent to influence an award or continuation of business or to gain an unfair advantage.

The accounting provisions make it illegal for a company that reports to the SEC to have false or inaccurate books or records or to fail to maintain a system of internal accounting controls. So what happens if your business doesn’t comply with the FCPA? You could face steep government fines, it’s as simple as that.
