"UK Bribery Act 2010 – New Compliance Challenges for International Businesses"
Recent years have seen increased attention paid to the enforcement of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws globally. Businesses caught out have faced substantial fines and severe reputational damage.
The recently enacted UK Bribery Act 2010 goes beyond the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 1977 (FCPA) and current French legislation in terms of fighting corruption. International businesses operating in the UK which have not implemented adequate anti-corruption procedures face being charged with strict liability offences. Conviction could lead to unlimited fines and/or up to 10 years in prison for those individuals involved. Ignorance is no defence!
