Why a risk-based approach to risk management matters

As the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has recently dropped its investigations into aerospace firm Rolls-Royce and pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline, what does this mean for Deferred Prosecution Agreements? Is it easier than ever for corporations to get away with bribery and corruption cases and what is the impact on compliance programs? 

The UK Bribery Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) highlight the severe consequences for any organization or financial institution in failing to manage its corruption risk. However, nine years in, is the UK Bribery Act still strong enough? Also, where does it stand in the context of Brexit?

  • How can risk-based approach to risk management can save you time and stretched compliance resources
  • What are the best due diligence solutions to suite your use cases and budget
  • How can Enhanced Due Diligence screening protect your organisation from reputational damage
