The Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (amended 2018) makes commercial organisations liable for a bribe given on their behalf, and companies with US or UK exposure also fall under the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act. Any business dealing with public officials, tenders or intermediaries carries this risk.
