Bribery Act Masterclass

13-Dec-2010  |  Employment & Pensions


In this Vodcast we explain:

  • the increased risk for SME's posed by the Bribery Act, compared to larger enterprises;
  • imminent commercial pressures which SME's may encounter from buyers and commercial counterparties, including demands to amend terms of business;
  • trends in current employment disputes, where employees increasingly raise "whistleblowing" points in unfair dismissal claims, and the risk that there will be more such claims unless SME's adapt their practices;
  • longer term impacts of the Bribery Act on value realisation where SME owners seek to exit the business.

The panel discusses the issues from the legal, reputational and broader commercial prospective.

This vodcast is produced and hosted by the Bribery Centre. Due to the length of this vodcast it has been broken down into three parts for ease of viewing:

View Part 1 - Impact of the Act on SME's

View Part 2 - Is this the "nanny state" interfering

View Part 3 - How bad is bribery and corruption in British Business
