| More than ever before, businesses operating in the UK need to ensure they have robust anti-corruption policies and procedures in place. Failure to do so will expose them to the possibility of automatic criminal liability for bribes paid by others on their behalf under the new Bribery Act 2010. The result could be unlimited fines and confiscation of all revenues relating to the business won through the bribes. Corporate boards, as a matter of good governance, should be giving due regard to this issue now, before the new offences take effect later this year.
