Wal-Mart announced today that it has created a Global FCPA Compliance Officer position, in the wake of a bribery in Mexico scandal revealed this weekend in The New York Times.
“This position will have responsibility for compliance with the FCPA in every market around the world and will oversee five FCPA compliance directors based in the international markets,” Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar said in a statement.
The company’s statement did not specify when the position was created, or if it has been filled.
