The introduction of new UK legislation to combat this form of financial crime (The Bribery Act 2010) came into force in early 2011 and allows for unlimited fines and possibly even custodial sentences for UK organisations and their senior officers found guilty of failure to prevent, condoning or actually committing, bribery. The Act also introduces a new corporate offence of failure by commercial organisations to prevent bribery by anyone working on behalf of organisations, including third party contractors and agents.
