Beam Inc., the maker of Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark and Canadian Club liquors, said it’s investigating its operations in India after a report of possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
“Based on a routine internal audit of operations in India, we are taking a closer look at the actions of certain individuals and practices in the India business,” Clarkson Hine, a spokesman for the Deerfield, Illinois-based company, said yesterday in an e-mail. Beam won’t disclose details of the review, he said.
