FTA시대 기업 반부패 정책의 국제적 동향과 해외 뇌물공여 사례 연구

Global Trends of Anti-Corruption Policies of Corporations in the FTA Era

The purpose of this study is to analyze the bribery cases of foreign public officials in China, Saudi Arabia and Africa Countries and to propose practical improvements. This paper compares representative anti-corruption national laws and international conventions and uses literature research to analyze foreign bribery cases around the world. Case analysis presents typical examples of enterprises planning to extend their business abroad by making improper payments to foreign officials in cash, expensive gifts, travel abroad incentives in order to have a direct selling license, make a contract or receive a benefit of a tax reduction. As a result, the international community imposes the duty of overseeing bribery acts on overseas branches of head offices of multinational enterprises, which may also be applied to investors in head offices. Therefore, enterprises need to have CSR departments and train experts in order to prevent problems in advance. Furthermore, governments need to improvethe system that encourages enterprises to act conscionably and report foreign bribery cases voluntarily.
