Sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, is known under a variety of names: great millet and guinea corn in West Africa, kafir corn in South Africa, dura in Sudan, mtama in eastern Africa, jowar in India and kaoliang in China (Purseglove, 1972).
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 is a United States federal law known primarily for two of its main provisions, one that addresses accounting transparency requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and another concerning bribery of foreign officials. The act was amended in 1988 and in 1998. As of 2012 there were continued congressional concerns. An ongoing debate asks whether FCPA enforcement discourages US companies from investing abroad.
Companies must recognise that although their anti-bribery programme may be compliant with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) this does not ensure that it constitutes adequate procedures under the Bribery Act.The Act differs in several respects from the FCPA.he Bribery Act does not define what constitutes âor part of a businessâ and until this is clarified in the law courts, a company should exercise caution. A representative office or UK agent may be sufficient to engage the Act.
