The USA Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is further reaching than the UK's Bribery Act 2010. Is this statement true?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is 3. Firstly you can half the number of responses by looking at the yes / no. The UK Bribery Act is further reaching than the FCPA. Therefore the statement is False. You can therefore discount the options that start with yes. Of the two remaining statements only one of them is true and that is number 3- the Bribery Act extends to third parties and the FCPA does not. Option 4 is incorrect as the Bribery Act DOES account for facilitation payments. Its to FCPA that doesn't. This is explained on p. 36 of the study guide

I thought the Bribery Act was more comprehensive overall, especially since it doesn't allow for facilitation payments like the FCPA does.

I think the FCPA does exempt facilitation payments, but I can't recall if that makes it broader than the Bribery Act.

I remember studying that the FCPA does cover private bribes, but I'm not sure if that's the main difference.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons of each law's scope to determine which one is more far-reaching. Time to put on my critical thinking cap!

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. I know the FCPA covers private bribes, while the Bribery Act doesn't. And the FCPA has an exception for facilitation payments, but I'm not sure about the Bribery Act.
