A somewhat rare citing that should be of interest to those following Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement: The Department of Justice has published an FCPA advisory opinion.
The FCPA opinion procedures allow issuers and domestic concerns to get the Attorney General’s opinion on whether certain conduct is in line with the Department’s enforcement policy regarding the statute’s anti-bribery provisions. Opinion Releases can only be relied upon by the requestor and have no binding application to any other companies.
