The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) was established in 1977 to combat foreign bribery, yet current discussions suggest potential weakening of its enforcement could disadvantage American corporations. While the intention might be to ease trade restrictions, experts argue that this shift may benefit foreign firms, especially in government contracting. Additionally, most major FCPA cases have targeted foreign companies, indicating that a lenient approach could fail to protect U.S. interests while intensifying scrutiny on non-U.S. entities, particularly from countries involved in trade disputes with the U.S.
The foreign corruption practices act (FCPA) aims to root out corporate corruption, but potential adjustments might benefit foreign companies more than U.S. corporations.
Some legal experts argue that any softening of FCPA enforcement could create a perception of favoritism towards non-American firms, undermining U.S. competitive advantage.
