Description

As U.K. Bribery Act enforcement continues, individuals and corporations with a presence in the U.K. face strict legislation that not only complies with the requirements of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Convention, but exceeds the scope of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
