The US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits individuals and companies from making corrupt payments to foreign official in order to secure an improper business advantage.  Under the UK‘s Bribery Act, it is not only illegal to bribe foreign officials, but commercial bribery and facilitation payments are prohibited as well.  Numerous other governments have followed suit and implemented their own anti-corruption legislation.

Companies and individuals doing business around the world face a substantial legal and economic challenge in trying to navigate these anti-corruption laws and regulations. Failing to navigate these regulatory waters can result in enormous costs and possible criminal prosecutions that can potentially devastate a company and its reputation.  Enhanced enforcement of anti-corruption laws, particularly by the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, has resulted in a significant number of investigations and prosecutions for violations of the FCPA.

This robust enforcement of the FCPA has required both privately and publicly-held companies operating abroad to identify, evaluate and address corruption risks when doing business abroad.
