Who's greasing those palms of international bribery?

What your company needs to know about the international smorgasbord of anti-corruption law

Anti-corruption watchdogs around the globe are cracking down on corporations implicated in foreign bribery offences.

Just recently, Leighton Holdings fessed up to the AFP about possible breaches of Commonwealth anti-bribery laws with respect to operations in Singapore, Iraq and Indonesia. Last month, the UK's Serious Fraud Office successfully convicted four company directors on multiple counts of commercial bribery for which they received lengthy jail terms and in December last year a former Government Minister of the People's Republic of China (PRC) was sentenced to death for the offence of receiving bribes.
