Bribery & Corruption
Businesses and their directors must ensure that they operate their trading relationships in a way that is compliant with the Bribery Act 2010. The effect of this legislation is far reaching and ensures that breaches can result in civil and corporate liability with custodial sentences, financial penalties and other economic sanctions imposed.
