Definition
Engineer A is an NSPE International Member and legally recognized engineer in his home country who provides consulting, engineering, and construction contracting services to foreign national and local governments. His home country's laws permit — and even provide tax deductions for — cash payments and in-kind property transfers to foreign public officials to obtain or retain business, creating a direct tension with NSPE professional ethics obligations that prohibit such inducements regardless of local legal permissibility.
