Bribery Act 2010 | Bedford

The Government has now issued its formal guidance on the Bribery Act 2010 and the Act will finally come into force on 1 July 2011. This will reform the law regarding bribery and corruption in the UK.

A company could face an unlimited fine if it is found that a person associated with the company bribes another person in order to obtain or retain either business or a business advantage for the company. ‘Associated person’ covers not only employees/officers of the company but also agents and subcontractors. This is a strict liability offence so it is no defence for the company to argue that it was unaware of the bribery.

At the seminar we will talk about the steps businesses must now take to comply and what the Act means for corporate hospitality and facilitation payments.

We do hope you are able to attend and the invitation is of course extended to your clients or colleagues within your organisation. There is no cost to you for attending but places are limited and we recommend you book early to secure your place.
