Organisations that fail to prevent bribery and corruption within their operations put themselves at significant risk. Penalties can include unlimited fines, crime prevention orders and disqualification of directors. Along with this is the risk of significant reputational damage.
Our online training course provides training that helps to demonstrate your organisation is doing its part to prevent bribery and corruption from occurring.
The UK fell to its lowest ever position in the Corruptions Perceptions Index in 2022, according to Transparency International. The UK dropped to 73 this year – 0 being highly corrupt, while a score of 100 being corruption free. The index uses non-biased surveys from leaders in the business world along with experts to determine the rankings of countries.
The poor corruption ranking highlights the prevalence of corruption in the UK. Bribery and corruption put both the public sector and businesses at risk.
Bribery and corruption have been reported to be among the most disruptive practices for organisations. They cause monetary and business losses that are difficult to recoup and even more difficult to prevent.
This course is vital in bringing these practices to light so that employees and others play a role in preventing this from happening further.
