Summary

Anti-Kickback Enforcement Act of 1986 - Amends the Anti-Kickback Act to rename it the Anti-Kickback Act of 1986 and to revise its provisions regarding kickback practices by subcontractors. Prohibits the payment of kickbacks, the acceptance of kickbacks, attempted kickbacks, and the inclusion of kickback costs in contract expenses ultimately borne by the United States. Increases criminal and civil penalties for such conduct. Authorizes the termination of any prime contract for default if a kickback violation by a subcontractor has occurred. Authorizes the recovery of kickback costs through administrative offsets. Requires prime contractors to report kickback violations to appropriate agency officials or the Department of Justice. Requires employees of prime contractors to file annual declarations with the contracting agency listing compensation of any kind received from subcontractors in the previous year. Authorizes the contracting agency to inspect the facilities and audit the records and books of the prime contractor. (Currently, only the General Accounting Office has such authority.)
