ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS
SEC FILES SETTLED BOOKS AND RECORDS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS CHARGES
AGAINST TEXTRON INC. FOR IMPROPER PAYMENTS TO IRAQ UNDER THE U.N. OIL
FOR FOOD PROGRAM
On August 23, the Commission filed Foreign Corrupt Practices Act books
and records and internal controls charges against Textron Inc., a
Rhode Island-based industrial equipment company, in the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia. The Commission's complaint alleges
that from approximately 2001 through 2003, two of Textron's David
Brown French subsidiaries authorized and made approximately $650,539
in kickback payments in connection with its sale of humanitarian goods
to Iraq under the U.N. Oil for Food Program. The kickbacks were made
in the form of "after-sales service fees," however no bona fide
services were actually rendered. The program was intended to provide
humanitarian relief for the Iraqi population, which faced severe
hardship under international trade sanctions. Iraq was allowed to
purchase humanitarian goods through a U.N. escrow account. However,
according to the complaint, the kickbacks paid by Textron's
subsidiaries bypassed the escrow account and were instead paid by
third parties to Iraqi-controlled accounts. The contracts submitted to
the U.N. did not disclose that the cost of the illicit payments were
included in the inflated contract price. The complaint also alleges
that Textron's subsidiaries made illicit payments of $114,995 to
secure thirty-six transactions in the United Arab Emirates,
Bangladesh, Indonesia, Egypt, and India from 2001 to 2005.
According to the Commission's complaint:
Textron subsidiaries David Brown Guinard Pumps S.A.S. and David Brown
Transmissions France S.A. made $1,936,926 in profits on Oil for Food
contracts that involved illicit after-sales service fees (ASSF). DB
Guinard Pumps obtained three Oil for Food contracts that were inflated
by ten percent to cover the cost of secret ASSFs that it had agreed to
make in undisclosed side letters with Iraq. Management approved ASSFs
of approximately $83,000 to be funneled to Iraq through a Lebanese
consultant. When the goods were held up at the Iraqi border on one
contract, the Lebanese consultant provided DB Guinard Pumps with bank
records showing that the ASSF payment was made on the company's behalf
into a Lebanese bank account in the name of an Iraqi individual for
the benefit of the Iraqi ministry. DB Transmissions France obtained
ten Oil for Food contracts that were also inflated by ten percent to
cover the cost of secret ASSFs. DB Transmissions France's Export Sales
Manager noted in an internal memorandum that DB Transmissions France
wishes "to avoid any written agreement [concerning the ASSF] with
client side" and "[i]f written document cannot be avoided, this must
remain highly confidential." He also noted that he discussed this
issue with French management and received approval from his superiors
to include the amount of the ASSF in the inflated contract price
submitted to the U.N. Management approved ASSF payments of
approximately $567,000 to be funneled to Iraq through a Jordanian
consultant.
Textron's David Brown subsidiaries entered into thirty-six
transactions involving illicit payments totaling $114,995.20 in
countries other than Iraq. The payments were similar to the ASSF
payments made on Oil for Food contracts because no bona fide services
were actually performed and the payments were made to secure
contracts. In the United Arab Emirates, subsidiaries paid $20,429 to
employees of two government-owned gas companies, GASCO and ZADCO.
$16,342 was paid to two "friends" employed by a Bangladesh government-
owned fertilizer company. In Indonesia, a company representative was
paid $149,000 of a $321,171 contract to perform after-sales services.
Of the $149,000 paid to the representative, $10,000 went to a
procurement official of a government-owned company, Pertamina to
sponsor a golf tournament with very little documentation to show what
the representative actually did with the remainder. Finally, $13,354
was paid to a government customer in Egypt, and $51,870 was paid to a
non-government customer in India to secure business.
Textron knew or was reckless in not knowing that kickbacks were paid
in connection with all of these transactions. Textron failed to
maintain an adequate system of internal controls to detect and prevent
the payments. Textron's French subsidiaries both failed to enter into
signed agreements with their consultants despite Textron's
requirements that they do so, and management of the subsidiaries
failed to report known transgressions to higher level managers.
Further, although Textron knew of endemic corruption problems in the
Middle East, it appeared to take on faith, without adequate confirming
steps, that its managers and employees were exercising their duties to
manage and comply with compliance issues. Textron's accounting for its
Oil for Food transactions failed properly to record the nature of the
company's payments. In twelve transactions, a portion of the
subsidiaries' sale price for goods to Iraq constituted ASSFs, which
were characterized on the books and records as commissions. The
illicit payments made in non-Iraq countries were also incorrectly
characterized as commissions and consultation fees.
Textron, without admitting or denying the allegations in the
Commission's complaint, consented to the entry of a final judgment
permanently enjoining it from future violations of Sections
13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
ordering it to disgorge $2,284,579 in profits, plus $450,461.68 in
pre-judgment interest, and to pay a civil penalty of $800,000. Textron
is also ordered to comply with certain undertakings regarding its
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act compliance program. Textron will also
pay a $1,150,000 fine pursuant to a non-prosecution agreement with the
U.S. Department of Justice, Fraud Section.
The Commission considered remedial acts promptly undertaken by
Textron, which self-reported, and cooperation afforded the Commission
staff in its continuing investigation. The Commission acknowledges the
assistance of the Department of Justice, Fraud Section and the United
Nations Independent Inquiry Committee. [SEC v. Textron Inc., Civil
