Overview

The Bribery Act 2010 came into force on 1 July 2011. This far-reaching legislation has potentially significant ramifications for UK businesses that operate in overseas markets, as well as foreign commercial organisations that operate in the UK. The global reach of this legislation means that UK organisations operating in foreign markets could be liable for prosecution in the UK if they are accused of engaging in corrupt practices, as defined by the Act.

Compiled by PwC and BRIC country business councils, this comprehensive guide offers advice to UK commercial organisations operating in emerging markets about how best to prepare. The purpose of the report is to raise awareness of bribery risks, as well as suggesting how commercial organisations can mitigate those risks and protect themselves from the potentially damaging consequences of infringement.
