Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
Why Train on This Topic?
Conducting business in foreign countries is often
very different than conducting business in the United States. What
might be unethical or unlawful in the U.S. may be accepted practice in
other countries. Employees of U.S. businesses sometimes feel like they
have a choice of losing business by rejecting all local customs or
winning business by violating U.S. law.
Brightline Compliance's online course, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,
provides practical guidance on how to effectively pursue business in
foreign countries without violating the law. Through a series of
scenarios and interactive exercises, the course highlights common
pitfalls encountered by employees who engage in international business
and provides learners step-by-step guidance on how to avoid violating
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
How can we prevent FCPA violations by local consultants?

to win international business for their company.
Along the way, learners will explore topics such as:

- whether there is a minimum value for payments under which the FCPA does not apply
- what types of positions are included under the FCPA definition of "foreign official"
- when an organization can lawfully pay for a foreign official's travel and lodging expenses
- whether "grease payments" can ever be considered lawful
- what types of credentials to look for when working with third-party consultants and subcontractors
- what the consequences are of violating the FCPA - for the individual employee as well as for the organization
- how to seek guidance or report concerns about possible FCPA violations
