Understanding the impact of the UK Bribery Act on territories

The UK Bribery Act has a massive impact on organisations around the world.

In the series of videos below, we look at how the UK Bribery Act compares and contrasts with the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We also look at how the principles outlined in the UK Bribery Act will affect Russia, India, the Middle East, Brazil, Central and Eastern Europe, and China/Hong Kong.

The UK Bribery Act has international reach, and companies operating globally need to consider the impact of addressing the principles for bribery prevention outlined in the guidance for the Act. We’ve looked at a number of non-UK territories, debated how the UK Bribery Act will affect them, and what you need to do to be in the best position possible to comply with the law.

We encourage you to look at all of our Bribery Act pages to develop a holistic view. But on this page you will find information about the risks that are specific to these territories. If your territory or region is not listed, please contact the PwC Fraud Academy and we’ll get you the knowledge you need.

Bribery Act: Impact around the world

PwC has been working with the Brazilian Chamber of Commerce for Great Britain, the Russo-British Chamber of Commerce, the UK-India Business Council and the China-Britain Business Council to produce a white paper which specifically looks at the impact of the Act on businesses operating in emerging markets, and how those businesses can mitigate those risks and protect themselves from the potentially damaging consequences of infringement.
