"One-Stop-Shop" for the Bribery Act

The UK Bribery Act 2010, which came into force in July 2011, has important ramifications for organisations working in a large number of jurisdictions. The Act has introduced the new corporate offence of "failure to prevent bribery". Breaches carry jail terms for individuals and unlimited fines for companies, both inside and outside the UK. Like the US Foreign and Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the Bribery Act has extra-jurisdictional reach, applying to non-UK companies, companies operating entirely outside the UK, non-UK nationals and offences committed outside the UK.
