What is Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
training?
Building confident, consistent decisions around business integrity.
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption training
teaches employees how to identify, prevent and report conduct intended to influence a business or official decision improperly.
A bribe is not limited to cash exchanged in secret. It can include an extravagant gift, a leisure trip, an unofficial payment, a disguised charitable donation, an excessive commission, a job offered to a decision-maker’s relative or another valuable advantage routed through a third party.
The risk often appears during ordinary business activity. An employee may be selecting a supplier, approving hospitality, appointing an agent, travelling through customs or discussing a new contract. The right response depends on the purpose, value, timing and transparency of the benefit, as well as applicable law and the organisation’s policy.
SucceedLEARN’s course uses short explanations, practical examples, decision activities and immediate feedback to help employees apply ABAC principles. Learners are encouraged to pause, check, document and report rather than make assumptions in a high-pressure situation.
Corporate bribery is not simply a legal issue.
It undermines fair competition, weakens trust, creates operational disruption and can cause long-term reputational damage.

Laws Covered
What do the UK Bribery Act 2010, US FCPA and India’s anti-corruption law cover?
Explore the legal context behind the course content, in UK, US and India order.
UK Bribery Act 2010
The Bribery Act 2010 covers offering or giving bribes, requesting or accepting bribes, bribery of foreign public officials and failure by commercial organisations to prevent bribery by associated persons.
The adequate-procedures defence relates to the corporate failure-to-prevent offence. Ministry of Justice guidance sets out six principles: proportionate procedures, top-level commitment, risk assessment, due diligence, communication including training, and monitoring and review.
Where useful for international business, the course contrasts the UK approach with the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, including the different treatment of facilitation payments.
US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)
The FCPA prohibits covered individuals and businesses from bribing foreign officials to obtain or retain business. It also contains accounting requirements for issuers, including books and records and internal accounting controls.
Its narrow exception for certain routine governmental action does not make facilitation payments universally lawful. The UK Bribery Act has no equivalent exception, and organisational policy may prohibit such payments.
The UK ABAC course introduces the FCPA alongside UK law to support awareness of cross-border bribery risks.
Prevention of Corruption Act 1988
The India-focused course covers the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988, including changes introduced by the 2018 amendment. It explains bribery involving public servants and the giving or promising of an undue advantage.
It introduces the offence relating to bribery of a public servant by a commercial organisation, the role of associated persons and potential liability for persons in charge where the statutory conditions are met.
The content can also be aligned with the organisation’s Code of Conduct, gifts and hospitality policy, whistleblowing process and internal approval controls.
