A new Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) review by the Department of Justice (DOJ) offers an example of when stipends paid to foreign government personnel would not be considered a violation of the anti-bribery provisions of the law.
The opinion procedure release by the DOJ, dated Oct. 25, addressed the request of a U.S.-based provider of training events and logistical support. The company contacted the DOJ regarding a contract it had with a U.S. government agency to provide logistical support for foreign government personnel attending training events established for and utilized by multiple U.S. government entities.
The logistical support included stipends for the foreign officials intended to pay for meals not served during the event, along with driving mileage costs for certain participants.
