The Bribery Act 2010

Effective Solutions for Bribery Act Compliance

The Bribery Act is a concern for businesses, and the larger and more sophisticated a business becomes, the risk of breaching the requirements of the Bribery Act increases, be it accidentally or deliberate. Under the Bribery Act, it is an offence for commercial organisations to prevent an individual from committing bribery on their behalf. However, it is a defence if the organisation is able to demonstrate it has adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery.

A commercial organisation is liable under section 7 of the Bribery Act if a person associated with it bribes another person intending to obtain or retain business or a business advantage for the organisation.

The development of policies to prevent bribery is essential for all businesses, their owners and staff.

AML and Compliance

A PEP (Politically Exposed Person) is someone who has been appointed by a community institution to a high-profile position. Under anti-money laundering regulations, many companies aim to apply additional scrutiny to PEPS to mitigate the risk of their proceeds being used in any bribery and corruption.
