I feel like option D is misleading. I thought the UK Bribery Act has jurisdiction over UK entities regardless of where the offense occurs, but I need to double-check that.

I’m a bit confused about option C. I thought both acts addressed bribery of foreign officials, but maybe the UK Bribery Act has a different approach?

I remember discussing how the UK Bribery Act is stricter than the FCPA, but I'm not sure if it has exceptions for facilitating payments like the FCPA does.

I've got this! The UK Bribery Act doesn't have an exception for facilitating payments, unlike the FCPA. And it covers bribery of foreign officials, which the FCPA does. So I'm going with C.

Okay, let me think this through. The UK Bribery Act is more comprehensive than the FCPA, so I'm pretty sure the answer isn't A. I'll focus on comparing the jurisdictional reach and corporate liability aspects.

C is the right answer, no doubt about it. Bribery is bribery, even if it's across the pond. Might as well just give the Queen a heads up, eh?
