Background

The recently enacted 2010 UK Bribery Act includes a new strict corporate offence of failure to prevent bribery ascribing liability to companies for bribery undertaken by any ‘associated person’, and has a wide-reaching scope and jurisdiction, extending to UK companies engaging in resources-resources-business abroad, as well as foreign companies with a presence in the UK. In light of these developments, the need for companies to actively adhere to a policy of zero –tolerance of bribery has become all the more pressing. To help staff comply with your anti-bribery efforts, TI-UK has designed this training course.
