Barratt Homes bribery
The Bribery Act 2010 was introduced in July 2011 and now means that failing to report bribery is a corporate criminal offence. A bribe is defined as the giving, receiving or promising of an advantage – which could be money or a service – in exchange for an illegal act or a breach in trust. A company must provide a framework of training and anti-bribery procedures in order to avoid repercussions from employees who have been involved in the illegal activity.
