It raises awareness of the serious legal, financial and reputational consequences that bribery can have for individuals and organisations.

The course explores how employers can establish anti-bribery policies and procedures, alongside the responsibilities employees have in recognising, preventing and reporting potential bribery within the workplace.

Bribery can result in criminal penalties, damage to an organisation's reputation, loss of business and other serious consequences. Anti-bribery training helps employees understand these risks and supports organisations in promoting ethical conduct and reducing the risk of bribery and corruption.

Common Anti-Bribery Training Questions

The Bribery Act 2010 is UK legislation designed to prevent and tackle bribery by establishing criminal offences for individuals and organisations. It applies to bribery in both the public and private sectors and covers certain conduct occurring in the UK and overseas.

The Act establishes four main offences:

  • Offering, promising or giving a bribe
  • Requesting, agreeing to receive or accepting a bribe
  • Bribing a foreign public official
  • Failure of commercial organisations to prevent bribery

The Act also encourages organisations to establish appropriate procedures to prevent bribery, helping to promote ethical business practices and reduce legal and financial risk

The Bribery Act 2010 does not explicitly require all employees to complete anti-bribery training. However, organisations are expected to take appropriate measures to prevent bribery, which may include providing training to employees and other relevant individuals.

Under Section 7 of the Act, relevant commercial organisations can be held criminally liable if an associated person commits bribery intending to obtain or retain business or a business advantage for the organisation. Having adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery provides a statutory defence.

The Ministry of Justice identifies communication, including training, as one of its six principles for preventing bribery. The need for training should therefore be assessed according to an organisation's bribery risks, the responsibilities of its employees and the nature of its activities.

There is no legally prescribed frequency for refreshing anti-bribery training under the Bribery Act 2010. However, organisations should regularly review their training needs to ensure employees remain aware of bribery risks, their responsibilities and the procedures in place to prevent bribery.

Refresher training may be appropriate when:

  • Legislation or guidance changes
  • Workplace policies or procedures change
  • New bribery risks are identified
  • Knowledge or awareness needs updating

The frequency of refresher training should reflect the organisation's level of bribery risk and the responsibilities of its employees.


Preventing Bribery in the Workplace

The six principles are guidance, not separate legal requirements. They help commercial organisations determine what bribery prevention procedures may be appropriate, particularly in relation to the adequate procedures defence under Section 7 of the Bribery Act 2010.

The six principles are:

  • 1. Proportionate procedures
  • 2. Top-level commitment
  • 3. Risk assessment
  • 4. Due diligence
  • 5. Communication (including training)
  • 6. Monitoring and review

These principles help organisations develop and maintain effective bribery prevention measures, reducing the likelihood of bribery occurring within their business activities.

Employees who suspect bribery in the workplace should report their concerns promptly, following their organisation's anti-bribery or whistleblowing procedures. They do not need to prove that bribery has occurred before raising a genuine concern.

Some of the key steps employees take can also include:

  • Reporting concerns.
  • Provide the relevant information
  • Avoiding an involvement

Employees should report concerns honestly and in good faith, allowing the appropriate individuals or authorities to assess and investigate the situation.

A gift is generally given as a gesture of goodwill or appreciation, whereas a bribe involves offering, promising, giving, requesting or accepting an advantage in circumstances that amount to improper influence or other prohibited conduct.

Gifts are not automatically unlawful under the Bribery Act 2010. However, they may constitute bribery depending on their purpose, value, timing and the circumstances in which they are offered or accepted.

For example, a supplier giving a customer a modest promotional gift may be acceptable under workplace policies. However, offering an expensive gift to influence an employee's decision when awarding a contract could constitute bribery.

Employees should always follow their organisation's gifts and hospitality policies and seek guidance if they are unsure whether a gift is appropriate.

Employers should take appropriate steps to prevent bribery within their organisation, including identifying potential risks and establishing procedures to reduce the likelihood of bribery occurring.

Under Section 7 of the Bribery Act 2010, relevant commercial organisations can be held criminally liable if an associated person commits bribery intending to obtain or retain business or a business advantage for the organisation. Having adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery provides a statutory defence.

Some of the key measures employers can take include:

  • Establish anti-bribery policies
  • Provide appropriate training
  • Assess bribery risks
  • Provide reporting procedures
  • Monitor and review: Regularly review anti-bribery measures to ensure they remain appropriate and effective.

These measures can help organisations promote ethical business practices, reduce bribery risks and demonstrate their commitment to preventing bribery.

Workplace Scenario
1 / 3

A Supplier Offers a Personal Payment

Situation

A supplier privately offers a procurement employee £2,000 in exchange for selecting their company for an upcoming contract.

What went wrong

The supplier attempted to improperly influence a business decision by offering a personal financial advantage.

Key takeaway

Employees should refuse personal payments intended to influence workplace decisions and report suspected bribery through the appropriate channels.

Workplace Scenario

A Payment to Speed Up Customs Clearance

Situation

An employee arranging an international shipment is asked by a customs official to make an unofficial payment to speed up the clearance of goods.

What went wrong?

The official requested an improper payment in connection with their duties. Making such a payment could constitute bribery, depending on the circumstances.

Key takeaway

Employees should not make unofficial payments to secure preferential treatment and should report such requests through their organisation's procedures.

Workplace Scenario

A Suspicious Consultancy Invoice

Situation

An accounts employee notices an unusually large consultancy invoice with no clear explanation of the services provided. The payment is linked to a company seeking to secure a major contract.

What went wrong?

The payment lacks a clear business justification and could be concealing an improper financial advantage. The warning signs were not adequately explained or checked.

Key takeaway

Employees should question unusual or unexplained payments and report concerns through the appropriate internal channels before processing suspicious transactions.
