Anti-Bribery and Corruption Training Talk

A training talk on anti-bribery and corruption for all staff - what bribery looks like, including gifts, hospitality and facilitation payments, what the company does to prevent it and how to report a concern. The download gives you a one-page attendance record with the talk description already filled in, plus the full guidance document to run the talk from.

Two Files in One Download

• TT-1-18 Anti-Bribery and Corruption - the attendance record, with the topic and talk description ready to use and a signature line for each attendee
• GG-1-18 Anti-Bribery and Corruption, P-10 Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy - the guidance document the talk is based on, to prepare from and to issue to staff afterwards

Talk Description

• What bribery and corruption are, including gifts, hospitality and facilitation payments
• Why it matters - the legal, reputational and business consequences
• What the company does to prevent bribery
• Your obligations - bribes, gifts and hospitality, and conflicts of interest
• Warning signs of bribery
• Reporting concerns, with no reprisal for concerns raised in good faith

Running the Talk

Read through the guidance beforehand, talk the points through with the team, then have everyone sign the record. Keep the signed record as evidence that the briefing took place and who received it.

Why Warning Signs Are Included

Bribery rarely announces itself, and staff are more likely to raise a concern if they recognise the signs early. The talk puts the warning signs next to the reporting route and makes clear there is no reprisal for concerns raised in good faith.

Adapting the Talk

Both files are fully editable, so add your gifts and hospitality limits, how gifts and hospitality are recorded and the person staff should report concerns to. Update the talk description if you cover extra points.

Keeping the Training Record

File the signed record with your training records, or log the talk against each attendee in a training matrix, so you can show who has been briefed and when.

Who Is It For?

All staff, and especially those who deal with customers, suppliers, agents or public officials. Use it at induction, as an annual refresher and after any change to your anti-bribery arrangements.
