Bribery act and corruption

What is bribery and corruption?

The Bribery Act 2010 modernises the law on bribery. Very broadly, bribery is defined as giving someone a financial or other advantage to encourage that person to perform their functions or activities improperly or to reward that person for already having done so.

Your business could be liable if a senior person commits a bribery offence as their actions could then be attributed to the company. Your business could also be liable where an employee or agent pays a bribe specifically to get business, keep business or gain a business advantage.

There is a full defence if you or your business can show that there were adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery. What counts as adequate will depend on the bribery risks that you face and the nature and complexity of your business.
