Anti-Bribery and Corruption

Anti-Bribery and Corruption: CPD & Institute of Hospitality Approved

Course Description: Acts of bribery and corrupt business practices are still an all-too-common part of business-to-business activity in the UK and worldwide. Inducements can range from small ‘facilitation payments’ to gifts worth millions of pounds. They can come in many different forms and can sometimes be hard to track down.

This course examines some of the reasons why bribery and corruption occur, provides an overview of how common these practices are believed to be, and discusses how normal business activities, such as gifts, hospitality, sponsorship, and donations, can be manipulated to become bribes.

It covers the legislation in place both in the UK and internationally and the severe penalties that can be brought against someone found to be acting in a corrupt way. It also looks at the effects of bribery at a national level, including corruption in state-owned enterprises and governments worldwide.

Finally, on a more practical level, it shows some of the ways management and employees can reduce the risk of bribery and corruption in their organisations, particularly through anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies.

Learning Objectives: By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Define bribery, understand what it entails, and how it differs from gifts by applying specific criteria.
• Understand the motivation behind bribery and its effects on business and society.
• Identify the main legislation involved, the offences that can be committed, and the principles promoted by the legislation.
• Reduce the risk of bribery through risk assessment and employee responsibilities.
• Apply the Anti-Bribery Management System ISO 37001 and understand its effectiveness within the business and commerce world.

Target Audience: The course content is aimed at employees at all levels of an organisation who may encounter bribery or corrupt working practices.

Advantages: Training staff in this area can be used as part of a company’s proof that they are actively working to discourage corrupt working practices. Online training is flexible, efficient, and cost-effective, meaning candidates can progress through the modules at their own pace and in their own time, fitting the training around their work and personal life.

Further Progression: For candidates looking to add more qualifications to their CV, our Leadership Skills and Developing Teamwork courses are ILM approved and provide a recognised qualification. For those new to management roles, Managing Meetings would be a great next step, although working through any of our Business Skills courses would also be valuable.
