In this course you're going to learn about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA.
The FCPA prohibits the bribery of foreign government officials by employees of U.S. companies. This includes non-U.S. citizens who are employed by, or affiliated with, a U.S. company. It's a complicated law with severe penalties for employees and their companies.
Other countries also have similar laws. For your own protection, you must understand the FCPA if you are going to be involved in your Company's international business.
