Bribery and Corruption: Caught between three regimes | Practical Law
An article examining how corporations can navigate a safe path between the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA), the UK's Bribery Act 2010 (UKBA), and China’s domestic law. This article looks at the interpretation of "foreign official", gifts and entertainment; and how to work with partners and agents, as well as the implications for due diligence and contract provisions. It also covers how to build a compliance culture internally. The article sets out the key elements of the UKBA, FCPA and Chinese anti-bribery and corruption laws and a case study of how compliance and culture can collide to create an enforcement issue.
