Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy
It is illegal to offer, promise, give, request, agree, receive or accept bribes – an anti-bribery policy can help protect your business.
You should have an anti-bribery policy if there is a risk that someone who works for you or on your behalf might be exposed to bribery.
Your anti-bribery policy should be appropriate to the level of risk your business faces. Your policy should include:
- Your approach to reducing and controlling the risks of bribery;
- Rules about accepting gifts, hospitality or donations;
- Guidance on how to conduct your business, e.g. negotiating contracts;
- Rules on avoiding or stopping conflicts of interest.
Once you have an anti-bribery policy you should:
- tell your staff and make sure they understand the policy;
- monitor and review your policy regularly;
- Outline any consequences of not adopting the policy.
