The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA) evolved from investigations by the Office of the Special Prosecutor that provided evidence of illegal acts perpetrated by U.S. firms in foreign lands
it prohibits U.S. partnerships, companies, and organizations from not only giving payments but also offering or authorizing payments to foreign officials or political parties
Representative means for transfer of corrupt payments included: Overpayments; Missing records (no receipt); Misclassification of costs (bribes recorded as consulting fees or commissions)

The FCPA amendment requires all firms under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to maintain an adequate system of internal control whether or not they have foreign operations
The 1977 FCPA prohibits the bribery of most officials of foreign governments if the purpose of the payment is to get the official to provide business opportunities. The act was then amended and permits payments to foreign officials if these payments are lawful within the particular foreign country. The amended act also doesn't prohibit payments to private foreign companies of third parties unless the U.S. firm is aware that these payments will be passed on to a foreign government in violation of the FCPA.
