The Connecticut-based technological research and consulting company will pay a $1.6 million civil penalty and disgorgement and prejudgment interest totaling $856,764 for violating the anti-bribery, books and records, and internal accounting controls provisions of the FCPA, according to the SEC’s order published Friday.

Gartner neither admitted nor denied the SEC’s findings.
