1 Global investigations An overview of anti-bribery and corruption laws and enforcement in 150 countries November 2012
2 What is? It is very difficult and time consuming to keep track of anti-bribery and corruption laws because they are being introduced or updated more frequently than ever. It is also difficult to keep up with the pace of enforcement. You need to balance robust anti bribery policies and procedures that apply across your organisation with the requirements of local laws in the jurisdictions in which you operate. The penalties for failing to comply can be severe. Based on help we have given our clients we have developed Bribery Watch, an online summary and comparison of anti-bribery and corruption laws and enforcement in 150 countries. In response to client requests, in October 2012, we added 50 new countries and new questions on gifts, hospitality and other advantages, such as charitable or political donations. Over 100 of our clients, across all sectors, use to help them understand the anti-bribery and corruption risks they face. 1
3 Home Choose countries Why do I need? is useful for general counsel, in-house legal teams and heads of compliance, chief risk officers, heads of internal audit, HR directors and other senior executives who need to monitor compliance with anti-bribery laws. It will help your risk management and compliance functions by giving you simple searches and easy reporting. This will make it easier to put in place standards across your organisation that also address local legal requirements. How does work? When you are given access to the Bribery Watch website, select the countries you are interested in and the questions you want to ask. You can choose to view the results by country or by question, and can read reports on screen or download the results as a PDF or a Microsoft Excel document.
