Wednesday 16th July | The SFO is sending a clear message: failure to prevent bribery is no longer just bad compliance — it’s a criminal offence.
With a new wave of enforcement, updated prosecutorial guidance, and high-profile cases like Glencore and UIBL making headlines, now is the time for businesses to scrutinise their anti-bribery procedures.
Catch up with our practical webinar focused on what the SFO expects from companies under the UK Bribery Act, including how to meet the “adequate procedures” defence and what recent enforcement tells us about risk assessments gone wrong.
From best practice in gifts reporting to the latest developments in training, this webinar will walk you through how to bulletproof your bribery prevention programme before the SFO comes knocking.
This webinar covered:
- What counts as “adequate procedures” under the Bribery Act – and what doesn’t
- Key takeaways from recent SFO bribery prosecutions, including Glencore case and UIBL prosecution
- Where firms go wrong in risk assessments, and how to fix them
- Strengthening your gifts and hospitality procedures and tracking
- How to demonstrate a culture of compliance if enforcement strikes
- Practical steps to strengthen your anti-bribery programme in 2025
