The UK's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) recently tried to reinvigorate activity around the Bribery Act.1 It warned companies and banks that if they fail to prevent financial crime by their staff, they could face great fines and official blacklisting from European contracts. This proposed amendment put forward by the SFO would give the UK powers to take direct action against corporates, enabling it to levy US-style fines and brand them with assisted bribery. And so organisations need to ensure that awareness of and compliance with the Bribery Act is part of their risk analysis and mitigation activities – and they should start by looking at their data.
