As FCPA enforcement has gone through the roof in recent years - along with the fines for noncompliance - many companies have made FCPA compliance a priority. But when an employee or third party steps out of line, the first thing regulators will look for is the effectiveness of the compliance program.

When it comes to managing and monitoring bribery malpractices, performing data analysis and internal controls testing within your Procure to Pay (P2P) process can be one of the most powerful ways to validate the completeness and accuracy of books and records to add to your company’s FCPA toolkit.

The legislation, such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), implemented to fight bribery and corruption, prohibits any bribery payments to foreign officials and political figures. The FCPA applies to public US companies and the foreign companies listed on the US stock exchange. When language and cultural traditions vary so widely, a comprehensive approach including policy development, risk exposure assessment, control implementation, and ongoing transactional data monitoring is required. However, the failure to prevent and detect issues of bribery can lead to a serious offense resulting in heavy penalties, reputational damages, and possible incarceration.
