Bribery and Corruption, both locally and internationally, can have serious political, social and economic consequences for organisations resulting in regulatory enforcement, fines, and reputational damage. The regulatory and enforcement environment is highly dynamic with responding to regulatory inquiries being both expensive and hampering an organisation’s ability to be strategic. All organisations public and private should consider developing and implementing an effective anti-bribery and corruption compliance program (“ABC compliance program”) to prevent, detect and respond to bribery and corruption risks.

United Arab Emirates (UAE) has had anti bribery legislation in place since the 1980s which regulates anti-bribery practices in the UAE. The key aspect is to be proactive and get ahead of ABC compliance as part of any forward-looking business strategy.
