Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) adopted the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions ('Convention') which required each member state to make foreign bribery a crime in their respective jurisdictions by transcribing the Convention into domestic legislation. However, by mid-2011 the collective OECD member States (as well as the countries aspiring to OECD membership) have achieved only moderate success in their progressive goal of eradicating foreign bribery in international business transactions within their economic, legal and political jurisdictions. The lack of significant demonstrable success, whether attributable to a flagging commitment to the ambitious goals of the Convention or to the considerable complexities of corruption, has effectively rendered the collective response of the member States unstable and in jeopardy. Transparency International, a self-proclaimed global civil society organisation established to combat corruption, has warned that '[u]nless enforcement is sharply increased, existing support could well erode' (2010b, 8). This chapter considers the scope of the challenge of corruption (part 1), traces aspects of the OECD response to the various challenges of corruption (part 2), highlights the civil cases against bribery (as well as its various defences) (part 3), and sets out various prospects for reform (part 4).
Download or read book Resolving Foreign Bribery Cases with Non Trial Resolutions Settlements and Non Trial Agreements by Parties to the Anti Bribery Convention written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-trial resolutions, often referred to as settlements, have been the predominant means of enforcing foreign bribery and other related offences since the entry into force of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention 20 years ago. The last decade has seen a steady increase in the use of coordinated multi-jurisdictional non-trial resolutions, which have, to date, permitted the highest global amount of combined financial penalties in foreign bribery cases. This study is the first cross-country examination of the different types of resolutions that can be used to resolve foreign bribery cases.

Download or read book The OECD Convention on Bribery written by Mark Pieth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The OECD Convention on Bribery established an international standard for compliance with anti-corruption rules, and has subsequently been adopted by the thirty-four OECD members and six non-member countries. As a result of the Convention and national implementation laws, companies and managers now risk tough sanctions if they are caught bribing foreign officials. The UK Bribery Act 2010 is only one example of this development. The second edition of this, the only commentary on the Convention, provides law practitioners, company lawyers and academic researchers with comprehensive guidance on the OECD standards. It includes case examples as well as the FCPA Resource Guide 2012 and the 2009 OECD Recommendation for Further Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials with Annexes I and II.

Download or read book The Detection of Foreign Bribery written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The OECD Anti-Bribery Convention focuses on enforcement through the criminalisation of foreign bribery but it is multidisciplinary and includes key requirements to combat money laundering, accounting fraud, and tax evasion connected to foreign bribery. The first step, however, in enforcing foreign bribery and related offences is effective detection. This study looks at the primary sources of detection for the foreign bribery offence and the role that certain public agencies and private sector actors can play in uncovering this crime. It examines the practices developed in different sectors and countries which have led to the successful detection of foreign bribery with a view to sharing good practices and improving countries’ capacity to detect and ultimately step-up efforts against transnational bribery. The study covers a wide range of potential sources for detecting foreign bribery: self-reporting; whistleblowers and whistleblower protection; confidential informants and cooperating witnesses; media and investigative journalism; tax authorities; financial intelligence units; other government agencies; criminal and other legal proceedings; international co-operation and professional advisers.
Download or read book Corruption in International Business written by Ms Sharon Eicher and published by Gower Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is common practice to assume that business practices are universally similar. Business and social attitudes to corruption, however, vary according to the wide variety of cultural norms across the countries of the world. International business involves complex, ethically challenging, and sometimes threatening, dilemmas that can involve political and personal agendas. Corruption in International Business presents a broad range of perspectives on how corruption can be defined; the responsibilities of those working for publicly traded companies to their shareholders; and the positive influences that corporations can have upon combating international corruption. The authors differentiate between public and private sector corruption and explore the implications of both, as well as methods for qualifying and quantifying corruption and the challenges facing policy makers, legal systems, corporations, and NGOs, as they seek to mitigate the effects of corruption and enable cultural and social change.
Download or read book Modern Bribery Law written by Jeremy Horder and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bribery Act 2010 is the most significant reform of UK bribery law in a century. This critical analysis offers an explanation of the Act, makes comparisons with similar legislation in other jurisdictions and provides a critical commentary, from both a UK and a US perspective, on the collapse of the distinction between public and private sector bribery. Drawing on their academic and practical experience, the contributors also analyse the prospects for enforcement and the difficulties facing lawyers seeking asset recovery following the laundering of the proceeds of bribery. International perspectives are provided via comparisons with the law in Spain, Hong Kong, the USA and Italy, together with broader analysis of the application of the law in relation to EU anti-corruption initiatives, international development and the arms trade.
