Compliance Programs Under the FCPA: Ways to Minimize Liability for Payments to Foreign Officials
After lying in a relatively dormant state for the first quarter-century of its existence, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act emerged as a statutory late-bloomer. From 1977 to roughly 2002, the FCPA was enforced far less robustly than in recent years by its two primary enforcing agencies, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice. The dramatic increase in prosecutions over the past decade—marked by a steep rise in enforcement activity and record settlements—has elevated the law to a top concern of international businesses.
Companies conducting business abroad must understand the FCPA’s basic terms to alleviate that concern. It is crucial that they understand a provision that has become the source of significant liability: the FCPA’s ban on payments to “foreign officials.” This article will illustrate how that liability can and does arise, review the provision’s state of mind requirement, and offer practical strategies for minimizing liability through a compliance program.
