Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is a U.S. law that prohibits the bribery of foreign officials by U.S. companies. The law does not measure corruption within the United States. Thus, it cannot be used to determine the level of corruption within the United States. The United States is not consistently free of corruption according to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The act was created to address corruption in foreign countries and companies doing business with the US, not to evaluate the level of corruption within the US itself.
