The Australian Federal Police (AFP) are working in new
and innovative ways to learn from global law enforcement partners
in an effort to tackle foreign bribery and corruption.
With the AFP's increased focus on combatting foreign bribery
and corruption, companies need to closely examine their
anti-bribery and corruption compliance programs to ensure they are
adequate and effective in preventing bribery and corruption.
Corporates operating in countries with a 'highly corrupt'
score in the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions
Index1 are at high risk. Companies operating in these
high-risk jurisdictions should do everything possible to prevent
foreign bribery, including but not limited to promoting a culture
of integrity, setting the right tone at the top, implementing
robust bribery and corruption policies and educating management and
the board.
