Microsoft Corp. disclosed in its latest quarterly report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it has “been cooperating with authorities in the U.S. in connection with reports concerning our compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in various countries.”

While the disclosure renewed interest in the company’s FCPA issues, the same language has appeared in Microsoft’s financial filings for the past several years, according to Alex Fidler, a spokeswoman for the company.
