11 Oct 2024 Moog Inc.Moog: SEC order over bribery of Indian public officials by a subsidiary USABribery of public officials €1.54m

From 2020 to 2022, employees of the Indian subsidiary of the aerospace and defence supplier bribed Indian public officials via agents and distributors, among other things to tailor tenders in Moog's favour; the payments were booked as business expenses. Payment of 504,926 USD in disgorgement, 78,889 USD in interest and a penalty of 1.1 million USD.

What organisations can take from it

Even small foreign subsidiaries need effective controls over payments to distributors and agents – otherwise the listed parent company is liable under the books-and-records provisions.
