The Ethical Code of Conduct and how to remain compliant. Essential for every business with the introduction of the UK Bribery Act.
The UK Bribery Act 2010 came into force on 1 July 2011. It amends and reforms the UK criminal law and provides a modern legal framework to combat bribery in the UK and internationally. According to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office:
"The Bribery Act 2010, attracted strong cross party support in Parliament and received Royal Assent on 8 April 2010. Section 9 of the Act requires the Government to publish guidance on procedures that commercial organisations can put in place to prevent bribery on their behalf. Foreign bribery has been illegal for many years, with a number of individuals and companies having been convicted under the current law. The UK is contributing through the OECD Working Group on Bribery International Business Transactions and the UN Convention Against Corruption to increasing global awareness, enforcement and investigation of foreign bribery."

Adequate procedures should address the key six principles stated in the recent guidance issued by the U.K. Ministry of Defence. These principles are:
