Foreign Corrupt Practices Act: A Practical Resource for Managers and Executives

Companies don′t pay bribes. People do.Train your people. Protect your company.
"Aaron Murphy has written the best practical guide to avoiding FCPA perils in print today. He hits all the buttons—including the ones you didn′t know exist. So you′ve endured the usual PowerPoint presentations? Convinced that you have what you need to sidestep overseas bribery? Get ready for a surprise."
—Tom Donaldson , Mark O. Winkelman Professor, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania
"Aaron Murphy has written a marvelous book on the increasingly complex and difficult challenges posed by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) . . . What I love most about Aaron′s book, however, is its emphasis on culture, leadership, and process in addressing FCPA risk . . . It will be helpful to specialists, and even more so to business leaders and managers, in doing what the overwhelming majority of those leaders and managers strive to do—lead with integrity."
