Anti-Bribery and Corruption: Online
Bribery is not just a risk in high-profile industries. It is a risk in any business where normal commercial activities go unsupervised.
The Bribery Act 2010 created four criminal offences: offering a bribe, accepting a bribe, bribing a foreign public official, and, significantly, the corporate offence of failing to prevent bribery by an associated person. That last offence means that even if an employee or agent acts without the employer’s knowledge or encouragement, the organisation can be criminally liable, unless it can demonstrate that it had adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery.
Staff training is one of the primary elements of adequate procedures.
This CPD-approved online course gives employees at all levels a clear understanding of what bribery and corruption are, how common they are estimated to be, and, most practically, how everyday commercial activities such as giving gifts, offering hospitality, making donations or providing sponsorship can cross the line into bribery when they are not properly managed.
