As the Bribery Act gets ever closer to ratification on July 1st, companies are working hard to ensure they are compliant, and that all new procedures and processes are thoroughly communicated and adhered to throughout their organisation.
Corporate Hospitality has provoked a wealth of queries regarding compliance; just where is the line drawn between celebrating a new business partnership with an afternoon at Silverstone and this being misconstrued as bribery?
The Ministry of Justice recently published Bribery Act compliance guidelines that recommended Whistleblowing Hotlines as part of an effective corporate governence and anti-bribery strategy. Expolink will be hosting a conference in early 2012 at the Institute of Business Ethics with special guest speakers from the Ministry of Justice. This follows on from the success of the seminar Expolink held in September 2010 where guest speaker Roderick Macauley addressed the audience on the impending Bribery Act.
