Beschreibungen

As businesses continue to expand globally into new and emerging markets, bribery and corruption risks have increased exponentially. <i>Bribery and Corruption</i> offers a comprehensive look at this growing problem, and at the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other international anti-bribery and corruption conventions. Presenting hypothetical examples of situations companies will face, along with practical solutions, the book offers detailed global guidance on a region and country-specific basis. <p>The FCPA prohibits US companies and their subsidiaries from bribing foreign officials, either directly or indirectly through intermediaries, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. It also requires companies to keep accurate records of all business transactions and maintain an effective system of internal accounting controls. Internationally, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD's) anti-bribery convention has been adopted by 38 countries and creates legally binding standards related to bribery of foreign public officials.</p> <p>Written by renowned accounting fraud experts Richard A. Sibery and Brian P. Loughman, and providing an introduction and overview of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and international bribery laws, <i>Bribery and Corruption</i> considers:</p> <ul> <li>How to conduct FCPA risk assessments and investigations</li> <li>How to consider FCPA specific financial controls</li> <li>How to implement an FCPA compliance program and how to measure FCPA compliance</li> </ul> <p>The risk of bribery and corruption continues to be an area of concern for companies around the world, but armed with <i>Bribery and Corruption,</i> it is easier than ever to understand the challenges that exist and how to deal with them.</p>

<p><b>BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION<br> Navigating the Global Risks</b> <p>International business expansion has brought with it countless new challenges, few as alarming as the exponential growth of bribery and corruption risks. As companies move into new and emerging markets, fraud follows right behind. In response, U.S. and foreign governments have been forced to devise their own means of counteracting threats to their businesses abroad. In <i>Bribery and Corruption: Navigating the Global Risks,</i> fraud experts Brian Loughman and Richard Sibery take an in-depth look at the problem, its implications, what anti-bribery and corruption conventions really do, and how to stay out of trouble. <p>Beginning with an introduction to anti-bribery and corruption legislation both in the United States and around the world, the book focuses on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)—which explicitly prohibits U.S. companies and those directly involved with them from bribing foreign officials in order to obtain business opportunities —as well as other pieces of legislation limiting foreign bribery and corruption, such as the UK Bribery Act. Looking at compliance programs, risk assessment, anti-corruption due diligence, and considerations for fraud risk on a region-by-region basis, the book provides a comprehensive look at anti-bribery and corruption policies. <p>Presenting real-life examples of the challenges facing businesses abroad, as well as practical advice on how to respond, the book focuses on establishing an anti-corruption compliance program and fostering a strong ethical environment through focused internal controls, training, and monitoring. It discusses how to respond to common corruption challenges, appropriately investigate issues, and mitigate corruption concerns. <p>Designed to help businesspeople understand relevant anti-bribery and corruption legislation, enforcement issues, and how to effectively manage the risks associated with doing business abroad, <i>Bribery and Corruption</i> explains how to stay out of trouble, identify threats, work with new regulations and practices, and keep bribery and corruption at bay. <p>This publication contains summary information for general guidance only.
