The FCPA is a U.S. law enacted to prohibit companies and individuals from bribing foreign officials to gain business advantages. It aims to promote transparency and ethical practices in international business.
Compliance with the FCPA is critical for any business engaged in foreign transactions, as violations can result in severe penalties and reputational damage.
Any U.S. company or individual, as well as foreign entities operating on U.S. exchanges or using U.S. mail or banking systems, must comply with the FCPA’s provisions.
Businesses engaged in international trade should be especially vigilant in assessing their activities to ensure they meet FCPA standards.
Violations can lead to substantial fines, criminal charges against individuals, and significant reputational harm to companies involved.
Ongoing compliance and legal guidance help minimize risks and protect your business interests effectively.
We provide end-to-end support including risk assessment, policy development, training, and ongoing monitoring to ensure your business stays compliant.
