CCCP Anti-Corruption & Anti-Bribery Compliance 2

Question 1

Which of the following is considered a 'red flag' requiring enhanced due diligence in anti-corruption third-party vetting?

Accepted Answer

A third party requesting unusually high commissions with no clear business justification in a high-risk market

Answer

Unusually high or vague commissions, especially in high-risk jurisdictions, are a classic red flag suggesting the excess may be intended to fund bribery on the company's behalf.

Question 2

What is the primary purpose of conducting an anti-corruption risk assessment?

Accepted Answer

To identify and prioritize bribery risks so compliance resources can be allocated to the highest-risk areas

Answer

An anti-corruption risk assessment identifies where bribery risks are greatest (by geography, business unit, transaction type) so the compliance program can focus controls and resources proportionately.

Question 3

Under the FCPA, which of the following best describes 'anything of value' that could constitute a bribe?

Accepted Answer

Cash, gifts, travel, entertainment, charitable donations, and other non-monetary benefits

Answer

The FCPA's 'anything of value' standard is interpreted broadly to include not just cash but also gifts, travel, entertainment, employment offers, charitable contributions, and any other benefit of value to the recipient.

Question 4

Under what legal theory can a U.S. parent company be held liable under the FCPA for a foreign subsidiary's corrupt payments?

Accepted Answer

Agency theory (where the subsidiary acts as the parent's agent) or if the parent ratified or had knowledge of the conduct

Answer

A parent can face FCPA liability under agency theory when the subsidiary acts on the parent's behalf, or when the parent had knowledge of, directed, or ratified the subsidiary's corrupt conduct.
