US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) for Auditors
What does US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) require of a Auditor?

Under US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which defines 17 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
