This introductory online training course is designed to educate members of staff, prevent bribery and reduce the risks, and help protect your organisation should a breach of policy occur.
The course carefully and thoroughly explains what sort of actions could constitute a bribery offence and what the consequences of giving or receiving bribes could be.
Bribery can affect staff at all levels in the organisation. The consequences of breaching anti-bribery and corruption laws include fines, loss of job, disqualification and even prison sentences. It is therefore vital to understand the risks and avoid committing an offence under the anti-bribery and corruption regulation. This module introduces learners to anti-bribery legislation and enforcement.
A bribe is a criminal offence that could be disguised as a gift, a bonus or even a token of appreciation. To begin with, this module covers how a person bribes another person if they intend to induce the improper performance of a relevant function or activity. Learners will also understand the key factors to consider when deciding if gifts or hospitality could be considered a bribe.
Learners are tested on their knowledge throughout the course with short quizzes and feedback on the answers. At the end of each module, learners must take an assessment test and answer 80% of the questions correctly to complete the module.
Learners can also take the assessment again to improve their score.

Included Features
Anti-bribery legislation is designed to maintain an honest and level playing-field amongst organisations, allowing them to trade openly in free market conditions and offer consumers and suppliers fair and competitive prices.
It is a financial crime for organisations (or those representing them) to offer or accept a bribe, and companies without an anti-bribery policy in place put themselves at risk of heavy penalties should a breach occur.
Over the years, a number of regulations, such as the UK Bribery Act, have transformed the scope of ant-bribery and corruption governance. Our online training reinforces the ethical and legal obligations for businesses while developing a culture of compliance across the business.
Bribery is the act of taking a bribe which is a payment or a favour given in exchange of inducing somebody to act dishonestly. While corruption is the practice of unlawful or improper behaviour to use power or authority in exchange of money or to gain advantage. It is a financial crime for organisations (or those representing them) to offer or accept a bribe.
Inducements through bribery and corruption can take the form of money, gifts, loans, fees, rewards or other advantages. These could be through gratuities, gifts and hospitality, fraud, deception, collusion, embezzlement, facilitation payments and abuse of power through bribery of foreign or public officials. While corruption can also facilitate other crimes including drug trafficking and money laundering.
It is illegal to offer receive or accept a bribe. Organisations must have an anti-bribery policy in place to mitigate the risks when someone who works for the business or on their behalf might be exposed to bribery. Companies without an anti-bribery policy in place put themselves at risk of heavy penalties should a breach occur.
The Bribery Act 2010 is the main legislation in the UK governing bribery and corruption. It came fully into force on 1 July 2011 and covers the criminal offences of bribing another person, or being bribed, bribing of foreign public officials, organisations failing to prevent bribes being paid on their behalf.
