The International Foreign Bribery Taskforce is made up of the Australian Federal Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, New Zealand Police, New Zealand Serious Fraud Office, United Kingdom Serious Fraud Office, National Crime Agency (UK) and the United States (US) Federal Bureau of Investigations).
The group recently released this document titled “Indicators of Foreign Bribery.”
As stated in this UK Serious Fraud Office release:
“Drawing on the collective casework experience of IFBT members, the guidance highlights factors that may suggest foreign bribery activity and is designed to help professionals working in high-risk sectors, compliance teams, and the broader business community to recognise concerning patterns and report them to the appropriate authorities.
Taken in isolation the indicators do not automatically equate to criminal activity. Instead, they highlight factors which, when considered in combination and within context, raise the risk profile.”
