The Bribery Act 2010 is the strongest anti-bribery legislation ever introduced in the UK. It not only defines what is bribery, but places responsibilities on businesses that operate in terms of compliance, awareness and staff training.

Understanding the act - and the consequences of not implementing it fully and properly - is essential to protect you, your business and your employees from potential fines, reputational damage and even imprisonment.

Who is it aimed at?

The course has been designed to help your organisation understand the act, what bribery is, how bribery takes place and what you need to do to remain compliant with the act and reduce risk. It forms part of a suite of short e-learning courses that focus on different types of economic crime, and is ideal for employees in busy workplaces who need to understand the Bribery Act 2010.

What is covered?

• How bribery is defined
• Forms that bribery can take
• Indicators that bribery is taking place
• Consequences of bribery
• The legal framework, including the Bribery Act 2010

Any employee, manager or director who needs to be aware the requirements of the act, or who is in a position where bribery could be a risk.
