Adequate Procedures - Guidance to the UK Bribery Act 2010
The UK Bribery Act, which was passed in 2010, introduces an offence of corporate failure to prevent bribery.
The defence for a company against this liability is to prove that it had ‘adequate procedures’ in place to
prevent bribery.
This Guidance from Transparency International UK is designed to assist companies to comply
with the Bribery Act by providing clear, practical advice on good practice anti-bribery systems that in
Transparency International’s opinion constitute ‘adequate procedures’ for compliance with the Bribery Act.
We also provide a variety of general and specialist training courses as well as a number of advisory services that can be found here.
