Bribery and corruption are significant problems facing almost every industry across the globe. These unethical business practices create unfair competition and are against UK and international legislation. This Global Anti-Bribery and Corruption course provides detailed information on global anti-bribery and corruption rules and policies, with a focus on compliance with international laws and the UK Bribery Act 2010.
There are serious consequences for individuals who fail to implement proper policies and procedures, especially in high-risk companies and industries. Simply failing to have “adequate procedures” in place can put a company at risk of criminal prosecution.
Understanding local and international anti-bribery and corruption rules, laws and regulations can help ensure your company remains compliant and continues to operate ethically. The course begins by defining bribery and corruption, then discusses the difference between bribes and gifts, before covering the six principles of anti-bribery that all organisations must keep in mind and reviewing further prevention tactics.
This course covers:
- Examples and definitions of bribery and corruption as they relate to politics and business
- How a gift differs from a bribe, and how to tell which you are giving or receiving
- The importance of policies coming from the top down, especially regarding corruption
- Why you need to clearly communicate these policies to all staff members
- How focusing on running an ethical business can help prevent bribery and corruption
- The importance of proper record keeping and bookkeeping
The course is made up of 4 modules (around 2.5 hours of learning): What are Bribery and Corruption?, Bribes versus Gifts, Six Principles of Anti-Bribery, and Additional Prevention Strategies.
