Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement actions

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is a U.S. law that prohibits companies from bribing foreign officials to gain or retain business. Enforcement actions occur when authorities investigate and find companies or individuals violating these rules. These actions can lead to penalties like fines, sanctions, or criminal charges, aimed at promoting fair business practices worldwide. Essentially, FCPA enforcement ensures companies operate transparently and ethically in international markets, discouraging corrupt payments to foreign officials.
