Publisher's Synopsis
Anti-Bribery Laws in Common Law Jurisdictions provides a comprehensive analysis of the foreign bribery laws, related laws, and regulations in all of the major common law jurisdictions. This book extensively addresses the official guidance associated with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act, along with the related legal obligations pertaining to record-keeping practices and maintaining adequate internal controls. Foreign bribery legislation in the major common law jurisdictions of Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and South Africa are also addressed. Stuart H. Deming directs careful attention to laws that may expose an individual or entity to private or commercial bribery in foreign settings, as well as to the application of laws relating to money laundering, accounting, and record-keeping practices to situations involving foreign bribery. Throughout, special attention is given to explaining the criteria used in each jurisdiction to establish liability on the part of an entity or organization.
