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.
Authored by Stephen Clayton, Esq., In-transition. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act [15 U.S.C. Â§ 78dd-1, 15 U.S.C. Â§Â§ 78m(b)(2)(A) and (B)of 1977 is a well-established US law which impacts every US company which does business outside the USA. The Obama Administration has set a goal of doubling US exports in the next five years, so FCPA compliance will become important to many small and mid-size US companies.
