You are making an audit of the marketing branch. You find that your company has embarked on a program to penetrate the foreign market with its products. To do so it has hired an agent living and doing business in the foreign country where sales are to be made. You are concerned with whether the marketing people took all reasonable steps to demonstrate that the agency agreement did not violate the anti-corruption provisions of the FCPA (U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act).
Required: Describe at least three actions that the marketing people should have taken to demonstrate compliance with the relevant provisions of the Act.
