The UK Bribery Act 2010 that took effect July 1 represents a major change in global anti-corruption law, but awareness of its provisions remains low, according to a Deloitte webcast poll. US companies with offices or sales activities in the UK need to get up to speed with its provisions, experts warn, because the law applies both to companies that are incorporated in the UK as well as companies that conduct business there, whether they have a physical presence in the country or not. While 78% of respondents to the Deloitte poll said there will be greater global anti-corruption enforcement in the next year, nearly as many (73%) said they are unfamiliar with provisions in the UK Bribery Act. The new UK law sets rules for two general offenses covering the offering, promising or giving of a bribe (active bribery) and the requesting, agreeing to receive or accepting of a bribe (passive bribery).
