Course description

This comprehensive one day programme provides delegates with a fuller understanding of the fraudulent threats to their organisation and their corporate objectives, from fraud, theft, corruption and other ‘irregularities’. We help delegates explore their awareness of the mechanisms by which their organisation can help prevent these risks from arising, detect the risks at the earliest opportunity where they do exist, and mitigate their impact on the organisation.

Training Course Content

The introduction of new UK legislation to combat this form of financial crime (The Bribery Act 2010) came into force in early 2011 and allows for unlimited fines and possibly even custodial sentences for UK organisations and their senior officers found guilty of failure to prevent, condoning or actually committing, bribery. The Act also introduces a new corporate offence of failure by commercial organisations to prevent bribery by anyone working on behalf of organisations, including third party contractors and agents.
