Product description
Why should you buy The Bribery Act 2010: A Practical Guide
The Bribery Act is among the most controversial pieces of legislation of recent years. It creates a comprehensive scheme of bribery offences that will revolutionise courts' and prosecutors' responses to bribery at home or abroad. It will also force big changes to how businesses deal with bribery.
The Bribery Act 2010: A Practical Guide provides the most detailed and up-to-date analysis of this important new legislation. It deals with the law in context, covering the general bribery offences, bribery of foreign public officials and the specific bribery offence applicable to businesses alone.
The book deals with the latest government and prosecution guidance in depth, and separately considers particularly controversial topics such as facilitation payments and corporate hospitality. Related offences and civil liability for bribery are also covered. The text provides practical guidance on compliance procedures in line with the new Act and explains the impact of the new legislation using examples and worked scenarios.
