19.2 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits making a payment, buying services, giving, or offering a gift, promising to give or authorizing to give anything of value to a foreign official or, political party, political candidate, or employees of international organizations for the purpose of obtaining business. A “foreign official” includes employees of state-owned commercial businesses. The FCPA applies to all employees. Employees are expected to abide by the FCPA everywhere in the world, even if such a payment or gift is not prohibited by local law.

If an employee believes that there has been an FCPA violation, it must be immediately reported to the Campus Deans.
