Bribery Abroad: Lessons from the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is one of the best known and most feared white collar criminal laws in the world. Those involved in cross-border business-from directors in New York to factory managers in China-now live and work by codes of conduct shaped by the FCPA. Avoiding the pitfalls of overseas bribery, and knowing how to respond if corrupt payments somehow happen, are required tools for international executives and managers, professionals and entrepreneurs. Bribery Abroad contains lessons for everyone. It explains how to comply with the FCPA, defenses that work and don't work, and cases and events that teach about the FCPA and the global fight against public corruption.
