Thank you for the comment, there would be no reason to do it that way if intending to be above board. It would be an un-necessary risk because both parties would be in legal jeapordy if either party did not report correctly. I assume paying in cash would not be in-nately illegal if handled legally.

Your proposition would be illegal and the responsible people and organisations prececuted for bribing a forign official in many countries including Australia and the European Union. The bribe does not have to be called a 'bribe' to contravene the law and all that is needed to trigger legal jurisdiction in Australia is for a company in the 'chain' to be present in Australia. The actul payment may be made by someone acting as an agent for a subcontractor, but the company in Australia is still liable. There have been quite a few successful prosecutions since the laws were introduced.
I would expect the laws are similar in most advanced economies.
