The FCPA and why it Matters
October 04, 2010
Michael Osajda
The History, the Details and the Significance of the FCPA
The year is 1977. The place is Washington, D.C. The forum is the United States Congress. The
94th Congress, which ended its term on January 3, 1977, and the 95th Congress both obtain
information revealing evidence of payments from U.S. businesses to foreign governmental
officials and political parties. The payments exceed $300 million and were made either to secure
favorable action by foreign governments, or to prompt government functionaries to discharge
their administrative or clerical duties. The companies accused of the payments represent a wide
range of industrial sectors; drugs and health care, oil and gas production and services, food
products, aerospace, airlines and air services, and chemicals.1
These embarrassing revelations were discussed by the Congress on a number of levels, most
notably their impact on international relations, their reflection on the state of U.S. business
ethics, and their effect on competition.
On the level of international relations, while détente with the Soviet Union had commenced, the
Cold War was still a fact of life. There was an active struggle for worldwide influence between
the Soviet Union and the United States. In that context, Congress stated that corporate bribery
had foreign policy implications. These scandals lent ―credence to the suspicions sown by foreign
opponents of the United States that American enterprises exert a corrupting influence on the
political processes of their nations.‖2
There were also ethical and business levels to the issue. Congress flatly stated the obvious: ―The
payment of bribes to influence the acts or decisions of foreign officials, foreign political parties
or candidates for foreign political office is unethical. It is counter to the moral expectations and
values of the American public.‖3 These sentiments resonated in Washington in 1977. While
President Jimmy Carter’s credentials as an economic leader or as the Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces may have been questioned by his critics, his role as a proponent of moral and
ethical behavior was an important part of his presidency. President Gerald Ford signed the
Helsinki Accords on human rights, but Jimmy Carter elevated the principles contained in the
Accords in importance during his term.4
Finally, on the pure business level, Congress concluded that the corrupt activity that had been
presented was bad business. It skewed the economic transaction. Rather than quality, service,
salesmanship, price, or other factors being rewarded, corruption was paramount. Exposure of
such activity could also have negative consequences for the company involved. It could ―damage
a company’s image, lead to costly lawsuits, cause the cancellation of contracts, and result in the
appropriation of valuable assets overseas.‖5

Across the line - Advocacy at U.S. ports of entry Greg McLawsen
When it comes to legal advocacy, United States ports of entry are an unfamiliar ballpark. There’re not even the same game. Foreign nationals have no right to legal representation. Attorneys have no right to be heard. In this unique niche of immigration law, outcomes may be determined by obscure memoranda and local practices. In this webinar we will learn the ropes of this advocacy from some of the country’s leading border advocacy experts; including how to prepare your client for successful border crossings, and how to advocate for your client when things have gone wrong. Featuring Greg Boos, Margaret Stock and Heather Fathali of Cascadia Cross-Border Law.
Sample notice of removal to United States District CourtLegalDocsPro
This sample notice of removal to United States District Court is used to remove a case filed in a State Court to United States District Court and is filed pursuant to Title 28 U.S. Code section 1446 on the grounds that the complaint involves a federal question as stated in Title 28 U.S. Code section 1441(a) but can be easily modified for use in cases with diversity jurisdiction as well. The sample on which this preview is based is 7 pages and includes brief instructions, citations to the statutory authority, a notice to adverse party of removal to Federal Court as well as a certificate of service of notice to adverse party of removal to Federal Court. The author is a freelance paralegal who has worked in California and Federal litigation since 1995.
The United States Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission have dramatically increased their efforts to prosecute companies under The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). If your company conducts business outside of the United States, it is imperative that you understand the FCPA. Criminal and civil penalties may result for those that violate the FCPA. Further, officers and directors can be prosecuted even if they were not directly involved in the act that constitutes a violation of the FCPA. Recent trends have also shown that no industry is immune; even companies in traditionally “low-risk” industries are subject to prosecution.
Skagit county- HIPAA violation settlement agreement with HHSdata brackets
Skagit County, Washington, has agreed to settle potential violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules. Skagit County agreed to a $215,000 monetary settlement and to work closely with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to correct deficiencies in its HIPAA compliance program. Skagit County is located in Northwest Washington, and is home to approximately 118,000 residents. The Skagit County Public Health Department provides essential services to many individuals who would otherwise not be able to afford health care.
OCR opened an investigation of Skagit County upon receiving a breach report that money receipts with electronic protected health information (ePHI) of seven individuals were accessed by unknown parties after the ePHI had been inadvertently moved to a publicly accessible server maintained by the County. OCR's investigation revealed a broader exposure of protected health information involved in the incident, which included the ePHI of 1,581 individuals. Many of the accessible files involved sensitive information, including protected health information concerning the testing and treatment of infectious diseases. OCR's investigation further uncovered general and widespread non-compliance by Skagit County with the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules.
Skagit County continues to cooperate with OCR through a corrective action plan to ensure it has in place written policies and procedures, documentation requirements, training, and other measures to comply with the HIPAA Rules. This corrective action plan also requires Skagit County to provide regular status reports to OCR.
Fraud in government-funded programs can occur anywhere – – Medicare fraud, defense contracting fraud, GSA Schedules and other types of government contracting fraud. When an individual sues on behalf of the United States to recover fraudulently obtained funds, this is known as qui tam whistleblower litigation.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
