By Securities Docket on June 29, 2010, 2:51 pm

The SEC today filed a settled enforcement action against Veraz Networks, Inc., alleging that Veraz violated the books and records and internal controls provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.  The SEC alleges that Veraz made improper payments to foreign officials in China and Vietnam after the company went public in 2007.

Specifically, the SEC alleges that:

  • Veraz engaged a consultant in China who in 2007 and 2008 gave gifts and offered improper payment together valued at approximately $40,000 to officials at a government controlled telecommunications company in China in an attempt to win business for Veraz.
  • Also in 2007 and 2008, the SEC alleges that a Veraz employee made improper payments to the CEO of a government controlled telecommunications company in Vietnam to win business for Veraz.
