Illegal Foreign Payments

Bribes and kickbacks are against U.S. law, but are considered standard practice in many countries. Take a position and argue your position on how the U.S. should treat bribes and kickbacks for tax purposes.

You are an IRS auditor who is auditing a multinational company suspected of providing bribes and kickbacks to foreign officials. Suggest a tool you could use to plan an audit that might uncover the activity. Propose a strategy that would prevent bribes and kickbacks in the future.

Please keep the bullet point and solution together and make the solution at least a paragraph long.
