Bribery Act 2010: compliance and enforcement issues for financial institutions

In this practice note, Aaron Stephens and Daren Allen, partners in Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP's Financial Services Investigations and Enforcement practice, consider the implications of the Bribery Act 2010 for banks and other financial institutions (including insurance firms, asset management firms, hedge funds and private equity houses), and the practical steps firms should take to comply with the new regime. The Act came into force on 1 July 2011.

For a general overview of the Act, see Practice note, Bribery Act 2010, and for information on the background to the Act, see Practice note, Bribery: law reform.
