Download Background
With the advent of the new UK Bribery Act and continued regulatory developments, anti-bribery and corruption compliance should be a high priority for financial institutions. When the new legislation comes into force on 1 July 2011, it will significantly strengthen the UK law in this area.
Financial institutions need to act now, not just to familiarise themselves with the new law but to ensure compliance programmes are reviewed in accordance with the provisions of the Act. In order to do this, companies need to first understand more about the new Act including the penalties and offences, the defence of ‘adequate procedures’ and the differences between the new UK legislation and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
