The Regulation of Global Corruption

.

Chapter 8 in Introduction to International Business Transactions, 2024, pp 599-644 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Chapter 8 describes the problem of global corruption and how it affects business organizations in international commerce. It explains the sources and methods of global corruption, as well as tools that international business lawyers can use to assess the risk of corruption in an international transaction. It outlines the main substantive harmonizations of the two global anticorruption treaties, the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and the UN Convention Against Corruption. It then discusses the main provisions of U.S. anti-corruption legislation, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, including the persons regulated, its prohibitions, the elements of an offense, exceptions and defenses, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and the enforcement provisions. Anti-money-laundering regulation is also briefly mentioned.
