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.
Cost of non-compliance
Under the 2018 amendment a commercial organisation can be prosecuted for a bribe given on its behalf, with fines and imprisonment for responsible individuals; FCPA and UK Bribery Act exposure adds substantial penalties and debarment. Demonstrating 'adequate procedures' — including training — is a recognised defence.
