Phase 2 · Strategy & Planning · From Idea to Executable Plan
Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy
The Bribery Act 2010 creates corporate liability for bribery committed by anyone associated with the business — and the only defence is demonstrating that adequate prevention procedures were in place.
Anti-bribery and corruption policy is the design and implementation of the framework that protects the business from the liability, the reputational damage, and the criminal consequences of bribery and corruption — whether committed by the business's own team, by agents acting on its behalf, or by third parties in its supply chain. We implement the adequate procedures that constitute the legal defence and demonstrate to clients and partners that the business has zero tolerance for corruption.
The Pain We Solve
You may recognise yourself in one of these.
Three audience scenarios · because the same service produces a different transformation depending on where you are in the business journey.
Scenario 1
The business bidding for public sector contracts that requires evidence of anti-bribery policies and training
The public sector tender requires a completed anti-bribery questionnaire and evidence of a policy and training programme. The business does not have a formal policy — and the gap means either the tender is lost or the policy needs to be produced under pressure with inadequate thought.
Scenario 2
The business operating in international markets where facilitation payments are common and the business is uncertain how to handle the situations
The business is operating in a market where facilitation payments — small bribes paid to expedite official processes — are culturally expected. The Bribery Act prohibition applies regardless of local custom. The team does not know how to handle requests and the business has no guidance for them.
Scenario 3
The business that uses agents, distributors, and intermediaries in markets where bribery risk is elevated
The agent is performing well commercially. The business has not conducted due diligence on whether the agent's commercial activity complies with the Bribery Act. The corporate liability for bribery committed by an agent who was not properly vetted and managed exists regardless of the business's knowledge.

Why We Price This Way
Every engagement is sized around the value we believe we can create with you. The fee is always a fraction of the outcome · typically 10 – 20% of the expected first-year return.
This is how we make sure pricing aligns with results. The conversation is never “what does this cost?” · it is always “what is this worth to your business?” We answer that together in the first call, transparently, and decide the right tier from there.
If we cannot articulate a credible 5–10× return for your specific situation, we will tell you in the first call. That honesty is part of why our clients trust us with the work that matters most.
Why This Conversation Matters
“The Bribery Act is not a theoretical risk. It applies to every business that has anyone associated with it who might pay a bribe on its behalf — including agents it has never met in markets it has only partially understood. We implement the protection that the law requires and the ethics that the business deserves to be known for.”
A 90-minute structured strategy session · produces a usable roadmap whether you engage further or not.
