FCPA Opinion Procedure Release 1997-02

Posted on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 at 8:34 am.

FCPA Opinion Procedure Release 1997-02 came from a U.S. utility constructing a plant in Asia. The requestor plans to donate $100,000 to a proposed school construction project. The donation would be made directly to the government entity responsible for the construction and supply of the proposed elementary school.

As the requestor’s donation will be made directly to a government entity — and not to any foreign government official — the provisions of the FCPA do not appear to apply to this prospective transaction.
