Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Compliance 1.5 CPE

Bribery and corruption damages lives, reputations, and businesses. Yet in many countries, bribery is a regular--even accepted--business practice. The direct victims of bribery include businesses that lose out unfairly because of corrupt practices, and on a wider scale, governments and society as a whole.
