How to reduce bribery and corruption
Learn ten simple and effective strategies to reduce the risk of bribery and corruption in your company.
1. Updated Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy
Most UK companies have an anti-corruption policy, but it depends on how they implement it. Ensure employees understand the company's policies and expectations regarding bribery and corruption. We need to know what is and is not acceptable regarding gifts, entertainment, donations, sponsorships, and political contributions. Regular training on crime should be provided to maintain awareness.
Alongside your training, establish a process to help you remember the dos and don'ts, such as B. Checklists and Travel Guidelines. Employees should understand that any gift or entertainment received must have a legitimate business purpose, be appropriate, and be listed on the company's gift and entertainment register. Wajid khan suggests Clarifying what you mean by "justified" and "deserved." Please don't leave it up to interpretation.
2. Sound from directly above
Employee awareness of anti-corruption policies is only half the story. Building an anti-bribery culture requires clear and consistent messaging from the top down.
Boards, business owners, and all members of the compliance function must be clear that bribery and corruption are intolerable and that anyone found guilty faces the most severe penalties.
But most importantly, those at the top live their preaching and believe in the importance of anti-corruption policies. Otherwise, employees will not embrace that culture, and dialogue about anti-bribery training will not be taken seriously.
3. Integrate ABAC principles into corporate culture
See Anti-Bribery (ABAC) in company manuals, reports, and training. By including his ABAC clause in all supplier contracts, he establishes ground rules in advance and sets up appropriate termination clauses in case of suspected violations.
