The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) was enacted in 1977 to prohibit U.S. businesses and individuals from bribing foreign officials in order to obtain business. This act applies to all publicly traded companies in the U.S. and their executives. The Civil Rights Act, International Protection Act, 1988 Trade Act, and Webb-Pomerene Act do not specifically address bribery of foreign officials.
