In recent years, there has been heightened media focus on the prevalence of bribery and corruption activities both domestically and internationally. Notably, Australia is taking steps to strengthen anti-bribery laws. Regulators around the world are increasingly engaging in collaborative efforts and information sharing in an effort to apply greater scrutiny on corporate and individual conduct. This worldwide effort aims to support and facilitate the prosecution for unethical behaviour and promote responsible business practices.

Marsh’s latest whitepaper provides an in-depth exploration of bribery and corruption risks and potential cover (and limitations) available under a directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance policy – from investigation to prosecution to fines and penalties and more.

In addition to insurance cover, for companies looking to protect their directors, officers, business and reputation from bribery and corruption, effective risk management frameworks and compliance culture in preventing and addressing corruption are paramount.
