Why Congress Passed the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
Who Said This?: “I am NOT a Crook.”
The FCPA was enacted by Congress in the wake of the Watergate
scandal.
Congress passed the FCPA in response to a Securities & Exchange
Commission study. The study revealed that over 400 U.S. companies
admitted making questionable or illegal payments (in excess of
$300M) to foreign government officials, politicians and political parties.
The mentality during that era was: “When in Rome, do as the
Romans.” Bribery is an accepted business practice in some foreign
jurisdictions. So, it is fine for U.S. companies to adapt to that business
culture.
Current regulatory regimes did not apply or faced jurisdictional
limitations—most conduct outside of U.S. borders is not within
jurisdiction of U.S. courts.
