Answer:Yes, she has

Explanation:

In the United States of America (USA), the foreign corrupt practice act of 1977 known as the FCPA has two provisions. One is to address account transparency requirement and the second one, is concerning bribery of foreign officials.

It prohibits any individual or firm from paying bribes to foreign officials in order to obtain a business deal. It is also important as it serve as a tool to reduce bribery.

The individual in question was relieved of her duty because she refused to break the law.

She made the right decision by not 'following multitude to do evil' and she as well deserve an accolade.

She should take the case to the law court because no employee should be fired for refusing to break or bend the law.
