Anti-Bribery and Corruption

50 minutes, 5 modules. Acts of bribery and corrupt business practices are still an all to common part of business to business activity in the UK and Worldwide.

About this course

Acts of bribery and corrupt business practices are still an all to 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 as well as providing an overview of how common these practices are believed to be, before discussing how normal business activities, such as gifts, hospitality, sponsorship and donations, can be manipulated to become bribes.

It goes on to cover the legislation that is in place both in the UK and internationally and the severe penalties that can be brought against someone found to be acting 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 will show you 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.

What you will learn

  • Define Bribery and what it entails and how it differs from gifts by understanding the criteria that can be applied to show the difference.
  • Understand the motivation behind bribery and the effects on business and society.
  • Identify the main legislation that is involved, the offences that can be committed and the principles promoted by the legislation.
  • Be able to reduce the risk of bribery through risk assessment and employee responsibilities.
  • Apply the Anti Bribery Management System ISO 37001 and its effectiveness within the world of business and commerce.

Where to go next

For candidates that want to add more qualifications to their CV our Leadership Skills and Developing Teamwork courses are ILM approved and can provide them with a recognised qualification. For candidates new to management roles Managing Meetings would be a great next step although working through any of our range of Business Skills courses would be valuable.

Training is not always the answer. A course covers awareness. Where the law asks for a competent person, a written risk assessment or a system you can evidence, training on its own will not close the gap. Tell us what you are trying to satisfy and we will say plainly whether this course does it.

Questions

Before you enrol

How do I book this course?

Buy it online and the learner gets their login straight away. If you are booking for more than one person, or for several different courses, send us the list and we will quote for the group rather than charging person by person.

How long do learners have to complete it?

It is self paced, so learners can stop and pick up where they left off. The time shown is video content and does not count thinking time on the questions.

Do learners get a certificate?

Yes. A certificate is issued once the learner passes, and you can download records for everyone you have enrolled.

Is the price per person?

Yes, per learner and excluding VAT. Group rates are better than the published price, so ask before booking a team.

Is eLearning enough on its own?

For awareness it often is. Where a duty needs a competent person, a risk assessment or a documented system, training alone will not close it. If you are not sure which side of that line you are on, ask us before buying.
