anti-bribery policy

[terry tibbs]

i have been asked for ours - we don't have one we just don't do it, but that is not enough.

I've done a search and those that i have come up, via google, go on for many pages (7/8+)

does every business, regardless of size require one? are there any simple templates out there?

how in-depth does it need to be?

Don't be daft. Do you have an anti-murdering policy?

As its against the law I cannot fathom out why someone would ask if you have a policy that says don't do it. Its a stupid American idea that seems to have floated over here.

Think you may have answered your own question. Just download one of the ones you found on google, import into the word processor of your choice. Find and replace the company name you downloaded it from with your company's name, read it through just in case and submit.

So long as the one you download doesn't belong to the asking company, and assuming they aren't actually asking what level of bribe you want It should work.

It's usually included in a company's code of ethics (other business jargon may apply).

There are very sound reasons to have one in place. ( Despite how ludicrous you think it is )

Get one.

I can sort you out for a few quid.

if you want to do business with an American company you will need one

I used to work for a global American owned company and every year all employees had to complete anti bribery training and take a online exam and score 100%
It was a total farce every year I still bought all my clients beer, wine or chocolates for xams even though it was expressly forbidden I just had to pay for it out of my own pocket.

i've trawled the net and found a simple template, though according to the gov information we shouldn't need one if we've risk assessed we don't need one

it appears everyone has one

thanks

I'd love to know what the sound reasons for a UK company trading exclusively within the UK to have one are. You'll be adding environmental and equal opportunity policies next. They are just bits of paper that get dragged out of dusty drawers when someone asks to see them to tick a box, it is futile.

My policy is obey UK law, always has been, always will.

Send me some money and I'll make sure the right people don't ask too many questions, ok?

If you do business with the public sector you also need one

We are allowed to accept gifts up to $50. So its ok to take a small bribe but not a big one
