The release of the consultation from the Ministry of Justice on implementing “adequate procedures” has been designed to assist businesses of all sizes to implement anti-bribery policies and procedures and ensure they are compliant with the new Bribery Act 2010.
The new legislation will mean significant changes to the way firms in financial services manage their systems and procedures, the regulation will require a thorough review of internal control frameworks and crucially, creates a strict liability offence for companies and individuals who negligently fail to prevent bribery within the business.
The BBA's anti-corruption compliance workshop, taking place at the end of the consultation period, will provide you with practical advice for assessing the risks faced by corruption. You will learn how to design an effective compliance programme in compliance with the Bribery Act 2010.
