Abstract:

A web-based compliance tool can be used to provide global companies and their employees with detailed information on local anti-corruption laws. In one embodiment, a method for providing a user with information on local laws in a plurality of jurisdictions to aid one or more persons in compliance therewith is provided on a web application. The information on the local laws may be developed by a legal professional in each jurisdiction in the form of a guide. A guide may include information on anti-corruption laws or information on laws affecting the hiring, retention, and termination of sales representatives. A guide may ensure compliance with local laws as well as, for example, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the United States.
