The
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits bribes
and corruption of foreign officials and/or falsifying of
books and records by a U.S. or foreign company that are
listed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). Under the SEC's Whistleblower reward and
incentive program insiders that
properly report FCPA violations can recover large
rewards or bounties for exposing the overseas bribes,
corruption and criminal acts. In many instances
the corporate bribes and illegal kickbacks are paid to
foreign officials in order to secure large multi-million
dollar contracts overseas. In an attempt to
eliminate these international bribes and corruption
practices it is important for individuals with first
hand knowledge of FCPA violations to come forward, work
with an anti-corruption lawyer, and expose the companies
and criminals that are bribing foreign officials.
In some cases the SEC incentive program has procedures
in place where through a whistleblower lawyer you can
report violations while remaining anonymous during the
majority of the SEC investigation.
