Introduction to the Bribery Act

The course focuses on different types of economic crime and is ideal for employees who need to understand their own and their business's responsibilities in compliance with the Bribery Act 2010.

Bribery is one of the most commonly reported economic crimes in the UK, with nearly 25% of British businesses having been exposed to it in some form.

It is against the law for companies based in the UK to pay or take bribes to gain business anywhere in the world. It is also a criminal and corporate offence if a company is found to have failed to prevent bribery. If found guilty, companies can face unlimited fines, while individuals can be handed an unlimited fine and 10 years in prison. The Bribery Act 2010 is the strongest anti-bribery legislation ever introduced in the UK. It not only defines what is bribery, but places responsibilities on businesses that operate in terms of compliance, awareness and staff training.
