Corruption weakens governments, fuels organised crime, stifles economic growth and discourages development.\u00a0International corruption continues to undermine the progress of developing nations as rogue politicians, civic leaders and corporate representatives conduct “business as usual” to bypass bureaucratic red tape or circumvent competitive processes. But the world is taking notice and punishing those organisations accused of corruption practices. From damaged corporate reputations that lead to brand and stock devaluation to negative investor perceptions, legal action and even jail terms for corporate directors, the high cost of corruption can have a lasting effect on even the most diligent organisations.<\/p>\n
Companies worldwide can fall victim at any time to bribery and corruption practices, particularly those organisations with multi-national operations utilising vast networks of third-party agents, suppliers, distributors and consultants.\u00a0Navigating the complex web of multi-jurisdiction laws and regulations around the world related to anti-bribery and anti-corruption practices can be daunting, exhausting financial resources and taxing personnel. But now there’s an all-encompassing solution for building strong global compliance frameworks and safeguarding your organisation from third-party risks.<\/p>\n
The past decade has seen a dramatic rise in the prosecution of organisations accused in bribery schemes. Often regarded in many regions as a standard operating procedure necessary to move business along, the practise of bribery is fast becoming a focal point for governments and global watchdogs\u2019 intent on levying heavy fines and penalties for companies involved in the practice.\u00a0In this situation which with the course of time, regional and international regulations are becoming stricter, particularly companies that are in the supply chain (importers, exporters, third-party service providers or indenters) for any foreign company.<\/p>\n
Foreign companies are now being penalised if discovered that companies in their supply chain are involved in corrupt practices. These companies are increasingly complying with international laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), Malaysian Anti-Corruption. Commission (Amendment) Act 2018 introduced a new far-reaching corporate liability provision, the UK Bribery Act, Brazilian Clean Company Act. This progress intends to eliminate corruption from supply chains and third-party working relationships of foreign companies. Companies that are not complying with these laws are being panelised and prosecuted heavily.<\/p>\n
