Forties People: The Recruitment agency with a mature
outlook and an innovative approach!

July is here and the holiday season is under way, If you need a temporary staff for holiday cover please contact us, we have some excellent candidates available to cover most office roles. Last week (1st July) saw the update of the Bribery Act.
This important new legislation:
- introduces a corporate offence of failure to prevent bribery by persons working on behalf of a business. A business can avoid conviction if it can show that it has adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery;
- makes it a criminal offence to give, promise or offer a bribe and to request, agree to receive or accept a bribe either at home or abroad. The measures cover bribery of a foreign public official; and
- increases the maximum penalty for bribery from seven to 10 years imprisonment, with an unlimited fine.
The introduction into law of the new corporate offence of failure of commercial organisations to prevent bribery is an important development that essentially requires all businesses to consider the requirements of the new Act. This new corporate offence is coupled with a defence where, if the business can show that it had 'adequate procedures' in place to prevent bribery, it can be protected from committing the new criminal offence.
All businesses should familiarise themselves with the statutory guidance and assess the risk of bribery occurring in the business. The extent of any further action will be dependent on the results of this risk assessment.
