Questions people ask

Is a anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy a legal requirement?

It rests on Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 1977 (15 USC §78dd-1 et seq.) and state commercial bribery statutes. Some policies must be written down once a business reaches a certain size or does certain work; others are simply how a tribunal, an inspector or an auditor expects to see that you have thought about it. A clear, dated, signed policy is the evidence either way. Guidance, not legal advice.

Can I change it to suit how we work?

Yes. Inside Work-Lynx it is a starting point: put your company name in, adjust the arrangements to what you actually do, set the review date and publish it. Staff read and acknowledge it on their phones, and you can see who has not.

Is it up to date?
