In March 2011, Wal-Mart, the US-based company had started a worldwide review of its policies, practices and internal controls for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) compliance. Since the implementation of the global review and the enhanced anti-corruption compliance programme, the company has identified additional allegations regarding potential violations of the FCPA.

According to news reports, Bharti Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart's joint venture with India's Bharti Enterprises suspended a few associates and committed to conduct a complete and thorough investigation as a part of abovementioned ongoing review.

The company has decided to put on hold the opening of new cash-and-carry wholesale stores in India and as the investigation unfolds there is a likelihood that more suspensions may follow.
