    Transparency International’s latest Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) looked at 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption on a scale of zero (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).

    A review by a senior lawyer into the procurement of the delayed Ferguson Marine ferries found no evidence of fraud, though parts of the process were “not entirely satisfactory”.

    It comes after a BBC Disclosure documentary last year alleged the process for awarding the contract may have been rigged in favour of the Port Glasgow shipyard.

    The Bribery Act 2010 (the Act) came into force in April 2011, overhauling UK anti-bribery legislation.

    The Act set out the five key UK bribery offences and introduced strict liability for commercial organisations whose service providers (called ‘associated persons’) engage in bribery unless the organisation has adequate procedures in place to prevent it.

    Organisations should ensure they have effective anti-bribery measures in place to mitigate their risk.
