Government began to investigate BAE Systems for a possible violation of the Business Practices and Reports Act. This law replaced the Anti-Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which was commonly known as the anti-bribery law. The intent is to enhance the image of the United States, and reduce the cost of doing business by reducing bribery by U. S. exporting companies. The primary means of enforcement is by the record-keeping requirements that are built into the law.Essentially, this law makes it illegal for U. S. exporters to bribe foreign officials to do something that is not one of their normal functions. Of course, the definitions of bribe, foreign official, and other terms are critical. It is legal to give a small payment to a foreign customs inspector to get your shipment cleared expeditiously. The small payment would not be considered a bribe, the customs inspector would not be considered a foreign official(not high enough in the hierarchy), and clearing your shipment expeditiously is a normal function for inspectors. It is not legal to give the brother of the minister of health several thousand dollars to bring about the purchase of your line of antibiotics. If your foreign sales agent pays a bribe and you didn"t know about it, you can be held accountable if the Department of Justice believes that you should have known about it.Most U. S. Government officials have understood that not being able to offer bribes puts U. S. firms at a competitive disadvantage with regard to firms of other countries. Therefore, the law has not been enforced very diligently(and it is a hard one to enforce anyway). Still, there have been major convictions with regard to, for example, selling aircraft to the Netherlands and selling petroleum equipment to Mexico. Other countries have been joining the United States in trying to reduce corruption. This has been a subject of interest in international trade agreements for the past 60 years.In 1998, the Anti-Bribery and Fair Competition Act was passed. Essentially, it directs the U. S. government to try to reduce the amount of corruption on a worldwide basis. The more successful this effort is, the less need there will be for American companies to engage in corrupt practices. This will be good for nearly everyone except those who have been receiving the bribes.
