Research and explain the difference between outright bribery and corruption versus a “facilitating payment.”
What will be an ideal response?
An answer could read as follows:
• Bribery and corruption entails paying a government official to either establish business or obtain licenses and permits. A facilitating payment, however, focuses just on expediting the process of obtaining licenses and permits. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act allows facilitating payments to occur, but outright bribery to establish a business in a foreign country is not allowed. Other countries view bribery and facilitating payments as wholly illegal and will prosecute companies engaging in such acts.
