Register for the One Day UK Bribery Act Training Workshop

One Day Training workshop on UK Bribery Act and its Implication to Businesses/Individuals

In our bid to offer value to our Stakeholders and ensure that Businesses in Nigeria and Nigerian Business in diaspora transact their financial dealings within the ambit of the resident law and being fully aware of its implications, The Convention on Business Integrity in collaboration with Transparency International, UK is organizing a one day training titled “UK Bribery Act: Implication to Businesses”

The UK Bribery Act which came into force in July 2011 has extra-territorial application. An offence is committed if either any act/omission which forms part of the offence takes place in the UK; or no act/omission took place in the UK, but the person has a close connection with the UK. The guideline to the law suggests that corporate entities put in place adequate procedures to prevent bribery, and follow the following principles when adopting adequate procedures. The principles include proportionate procedures, risk assessment, top-level commitment, due diligence, communication, and monitoring and review. Nigerian companies who are yet to do so need to ensure that their corporate compliance procedures take into account their risk and prevent their chance of being culpable under the UK Bribery Law.

Other objectives for the training would include – The history and Motivation behind the Bribery Act, Implications of the Bribery Act for Nigerian companies in the UK and individuals, Implications of the Bribery Act for Nigerian companies working with UK companies.
