US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) for DPOs
What does US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) require of a DPO?
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA, 1977, amended 1988/1998) is a US federal law that prohibits the bribery of foreign government officials and requires publicly traded companies to maintain accurate books and records and adequate internal accounting controls. Under US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which defines 17 controls, a DPO'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.
