Which of the following statements in relation to the offence of bribery is correct?
A Bribery is a tort
B Bribery can only be committed in the UK
C It is an offence for a corporation to fail to prevent bribery1. The answer is C
2. Could you explain how this is an offence? If the organisation has put adequate procedure to prevent bribery, it is still liable?A company is legally obliged to institute systems to protect their employees from the temptation of giving or receiving bribes
If an employee is found to have committed a relevant act, the employer is potentially liable for failure to institute those safeguards
Bribery is certainly not a tort! It’s a crime
And the Bribery Act applies to all English corporate entities and their officers and employees
OK?
