Bribery blights both commerce and society in general.
Its immediate victims are companies that lose business unfairly. However, bribery is so insidious that government and society are undermined and social and economic development is damaged.
The Bribery Act 2010, which became law on 1st July 2011, updates old and muchcriticised laws on bribery, fulfills European Treaty obligations and is intended to make it easier for the authorities to bring successful prosecutions for bribery committed at home and abroad.
This course will enable learners to recognise bribery, understand how and why it is illegal and appreciate the steps an organisation must take to protect itself in the event of an offence of bribery by a person associated with it.
