This agreement ends a four-year investigation.<\/p>\n<p>This \"\u00a0<em>failed to prevent<\/em>\u00a0\" is important, as it is a much less serious misconduct than, for example, the one for which Rolls Royce was convicted in 2017 (\"\u00a0<em>corrupt conspiracy<\/em>\u00a0\" and \"\u00a0<em>fraudulent accounting<\/em>\u00a0\").<\/p>\n<p>On Petrofac's side, some employees, including the sales manager, made payments to political officials in order to obtain business contracts between 2011 and 2017.
