When is a gift not a gift? When it's a bribe. For many, corporate
hospitality oils the wheels of commerce. But where do you draw the
line? Bribes, incentives and inducements are not just a matter of
used banknotes stuffed in brown envelopes. Expenses, corporate
settlement of personal bills, gifts and hospitality can all be used
to influence business partners, clients and contractors. Can you
afford unlimited fines? Under the Bribery Act 2010, a maximum of
ten years' imprisonment and an unlimited fine may be imposed for
offering, promising, giving, requesting, agreeing, receiving or
accepting bribes. With such strict penalties, it's astonishing that
so few companies have few or no measures in place to ensure that
they are not liable for prosecution. This is especially astonishing
as the Ministry of Justice's Quick start guide to the Bribery Act
makes it clear that "There is a full defence if you can show you
had adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery." Such
procedures can be found in BS 10500:2010, the British Standard for
anti-bribery management systems (ABMSs). How to implement an ABMS

Risk management is a primary concern for any organisation. Its
significance has only increased since the start of the COVID-19
pandemic. Organisations need to prepare for all types of threats,
both probable (a server breaking down) and improbable (the office
being flooded), to ensure that their operations can survive and
adapt to continue with BAU (business as usual) in the face of a
disaster. Yet risk management isn't solely about preventing
negative outcomes, it is also about an organisation taking a known
risk to uncover new opportunities to improve the organisation. For
example, the transition of employees to remote working could risk
an organisation's security as an employee could connect their
laptop to an unsecure Wi-Fi connection. However, as demonstrated in
the pandemic, remote working helped protect employees as the risk
of infecting one another with COVID-19 was reduced. This pocket
guide introduces the premise of RBT (risk-based thinking),
exploring the principles outlined in the risk management standard,
ISO 31000Read this pocket guide to understand how: Risk-based
management can prepare your organisation for future threats and
therefore help the success of a BCP (business continuity plan); To
identify whether the opportunities gained from a 'risky' decision
can outweigh the perceived threat; The principles of ISO 31000 can
help your organisation develop a framework for its approach to risk
management; The guidelines of ISO 31000 can be interwoven with
controls in other standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001; and The
organisation must continually review its approach to risk
management to stay prepared for the latest threats. Understand the
benefits of risk-based thinking and ISO 31000 with this pocket
guide!
