The UK Bribery Act is coming, are you ready for it?

IN May last year, I wrote an article titled How not to win a corruption pageant. In this article, I discussed the issue of bribery and corruption generally and made reference to the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the Australian Bribery of Foreign Public Officials legislation and the “soon-to-be-passed UK Bribery Act”.

After deferment of the planned implementation of the UK Bribery Act to April, in order to facilitate further consultation; the Act will now come into operation on July 1.
