Corruption Schemes

Bribery and Kickbacks
Commercial bribery is the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting of anything of value to influence the outcome of a business transaction. It typically is committed by employees such as purchasing agents who have discretion in awarding business to outside vendors.

Economic Extortion
The flip side of offering or receiving anything of value is demanding it as a condition of awarding business. This is termed "economic extortion." A typical case involves a corrupt lending officer who demands a kickback in exchange for approving a loan.

Conflicts of Interest
A conflict of interest occurs when an employee, manager or executive of an organization has an undisclosed personal economic interest in a transaction that adversely affects the company or the shareholders' interests. As with other types of corruption, these schemes involve the exertion of the insider's influence to the detriment of the entity.

Illegal Gratuities
Illegal gratuities are similar to bribery schemes, except that something of value is given to reward a business decision, rather than influence it. For example, purchasing agents commonly are lavished with expensive vacations and other items when a vendor's contract is approved.
