In the five years since the U.K. Bribery Act took effect, there have been few prosecutions but, according to Pinsent Masons partner Barry Vitou, speaking at a recent Securities Docket webinar, now is “exactly the wrong moment” to become complacent about compliance. In fact, after the webinar, on July 8, 2016, a judge approved a deferred prosecution agreement between the Serious Fraud Office and an unnamed company to resolve bribery charges in a case that is ongoing against individuals. Vitou, along with Julian Glass, a managing director at FTI Consulting, Richard Kovalevsky QC and Vivian Robinson QC, a partner at McGuireWoods and former general counsel to the U.K.’s Serious Fraud Office, discussed recent developments in the U.K. of concern to companies, including the impact of Brexit on anti-corruption compliance and the SFO’s use of DPAs.
