The U.S. Congress enacted the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in 1977 in response to findings that companies had been making hundreds of millions of dollars of questionable payments to foreign government officials, politicians, and political parties. The purposes of this act are to halt the bribery of foreign officials and restore public confidence in the integrity of the American business system. The head of the DOJ's Criminal Division recently described the agency's focus on FCPA enforcement and warned executives and employees of personal accountability for FCPA violations.
