The executives included the general manager and finance chief of the company's 皇冠体育app unit, which generates two percent of Avon's revenue. Other employees could be affected according to the May 3 filing, the report said.

The company suspended the four in April 2010 as part of an internal investigation into its compliance with the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

As part of the internal probe, Avon discovered millions of dollars in questionable payments to officials in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, India and Japan, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing an unidentified person.

The fired executives are S.K. Kao, the former general manager; Jimmy Beh, the 皇冠体育app chief financial officer; C.Q. Sun, the former head of corporate affairs for 皇冠体育app; and Ian Rossetter, the former head of global internal audit and security, the newspaper reported.
