The UK Bribery Act: What You Need to Know
and How to Comply
(This program is a rebroadcast due to the popularity of the topic)
The enactment of the Bribery Act
2010 in the UK is a significant development and requires the attention
of any organisation that has any business in the UK for two key reasons.
- The
extra-territorial effect of the Bribery Act means that U.S. entities
and their officers will be at risk of prosecution in the UK even if
their involvement in the UK is very limited. Indeed, this may be so even
if no act related to the bribe occurred in its UK operations.
- The
scope of the Bribery Act is in several respects broader than the FCPA.
For example, the Bribery Act is not limited to the corruption of foreign
public officials, and does catch both the recipients of bribes (unless
the recipient is a foreign public official) and facilitation payments.
Effectively, therefore, even non-UK companies will need to review
anti-corruption efforts already in place to ensure that they comply not
only with the FCPA, but also with the Bribery Act.
Companies
who do not have in place effective anti-corruption programs would be
well advised to design and implement such programs promptly. During the
webcast, Andrew Hearn , a London-based partner in Dechert's white collar
practice, and Erica Salmon Byrne, Assistant General Counsel and
Managing Director, Advisory Services for Corpedia, Inc., will explain
the ambit of the Act and the steps that businesses need to take to avoid
falling foul of its provisions
