Are you ready for The Bribery Act that comes in on 1st July 2011?

It is important that companies achieve the best value for money in giving contracts to suppliers and making purchases.  The tough financial climate means that obtaining best value, and reducing overheads and costs are critical.  In addition, particularly with the introduction of the Bribery Act 2010 that takes effect on the 1^st July 2011, it is important that companies have a transparent and fair process in place to comply with that legislation as well as obtain the best value for the company in purchasing goods and services.

Various points have been given that are intended to give relevant companies a starting point for planning, implementing, and reviewing their bribery policy. The amended points are there to give clarification on how to implement the Bribery Act 2010 and how it can protect you as a business.

If you would like further help and guidance on how to ensure you are protected under the Bribery Act 2010 then please contact Richard Carter on 01233 505560 for further information.
