Integrity Risk
The integrity risk to business and its potential for catastrophic consequences is well documented. Recent examples of systemic failures in both public and commercial sectors have caused serious damage to businesses, their finances, reputation and brand. Recent cases detailed within the banking sector have shown that such consequences, in the worst case, can threaten entire business sectors.
Bribery and corruption remains prevalent, if not endemic in many overseas countries and presents a risk to businesses exposed to these practices. Businesses must take into account the Bribery Act 2010 which makes it an offence for UK nationals and bodies incorporated under UK law to bribe anywhere in the world.
From 01 July 2011, the Bribery Act made it an offence for commercial organisations carrying on any business in the UK, to fail to prevent bribery on their behalf by employees and other associated persons.
