The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is a United States federal law which addresses accounting transparency and bribery of foreign officials. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are both responsible for FCPA enforcement – the SEC, for those companies under its regulatory jurisdiction, and the DOJ, for all other companies.  This enforcement famously leads to large settlement payments by offending companies, the resolution of which is often reached by collaboration among numerous governments and supervisory entities.

The ten largest FCPA resolutions as of the writing of this blog post are listed below, with links to more information and business case studies on each.
