Anti-Bribery and Corruption
Course Overview
Bribery and corruption pose serious risks to organisations of all sizes and across all sectors. In Ireland, the Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act 2018 strengthened the legal framework for tackling corruption, introducing new offences and increasing penalties for individuals and organisations found guilty of corrupt practices. Internationally, legislation such as the UK Bribery Act 2010 can also apply to Irish businesses operating abroad.
This CPD-accredited online course provides a comprehensive introduction to anti-bribery and corruption, covering the legal framework, the different forms bribery can take, and the steps organisations and individuals must take to prevent corrupt practices. Learners will develop the awareness and knowledge needed to identify and report potential bribery and corruption in their workplace.

About This Course
Bribery is the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of something of value as a means of influencing the actions of an individual in a position of authority. Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. Both are criminal offences that can result in imprisonment, unlimited fines, and severe reputational damage to organisations and individuals involved.
This course examines the key provisions of the Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act 2018, including the offences of active and passive bribery, trading in influence, and the liability of corporate bodies. Learners will explore real-world examples of bribery and corruption, understand the concept of facilitation payments, and learn about the importance of gifts and hospitality policies.
The course also covers the practical steps that organisations should take to prevent bribery and corruption, including risk assessments, due diligence on business partners, whistleblowing procedures, and the development of a robust anti-bribery policy. By the end of this course, learners will understand their personal responsibilities and how to protect their organisation from the risks of bribery and corruption.
