As international trade has increased, so too has the importance of complying with laws governing international business. Combating corruption has become an international priority with all governments maintaining a vigilant stance to weed out the corruption that has historically been endemic in international business practice. In the past, a company was able to shield itself from prosecution because bad actors were merely contractors or other indirect agents of the company. However, amplified enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes that approach no longer viable.
Now the onus is on the company to ensure compliance with the FCPA and similar international laws. Whether using employees or independent parties to make connections and generate business, companies must now take an active role in conforming to FCPA regulations. The stakes are high and the penalties for infraction severe.
It is now crucial that you retain an advisor who can help guide you through the conventions of the FCPA. An advisor who knows where to look to uncover violations. An advisor who knows how to rectify infractions once they’ve been brought to light. UHY Advisors.
