Course Overview
If your business has any international activities, it is important to equip yourself with the knowledge to navigate the global business landscape. Familiarizing yourself with the complexities of the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) can help you to avoid running afoul of its requirements and operate confidentially and ethically. Many businesses are subject to the FCPA, yet the statute can be difficult to understand due to its complexity and sheer breadth.
In this course, you will examine the FCPA's origins, scope, and applicability under different circumstances. You will analyze various scenarios in which the FCPA's requirements are implicated, and you will define and evaluate best practices for ensuring compliance with the FCPA. Finally, you will have the opportunity to step back and consider the broader implications of the FCPA for U.S. businesses seeking to compete internationally.
Key Course Takeaways
- Identify how the FCPA applies to a business's foreign operations
- Distinguish between permitted and prohibited corrupt practices
