From the supplier: The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 was enacted in response to bribery of foreign officials by US corporations, and it imposes criminal liability for bribes and violations of accounting rules. The Act augments the Securities Exchange Act in requiring certain types of record-keeping by corporations already subject to securities registration laws. Certain types of payments to foreign public officials and related parties are banned under the bribery provisions, though affirmative defenses exist for payments and gifts that are lawful in the foreign official's country.
