Anti-Bribery & Corruption 

Mitigating reputational and legal exposure through proactive compliance


Globalisation, government engagement and third-party contracting are essential to business growth—but they also increase vulnerability to bribery and corruption. A breach of anti-corruption laws such as the UAE Federal Penal Code, UK Bribery Act and US FCPA can result in severe financial penalties, contract disqualification or reputational damage.

Moreover, as per the Report to nations 2024 by ACFE, it states that across all industries presented, corruption (48%) was the most prevalent scheme of fraud in the reported cases. This highlights the importance of corruption risk across sectors and companies.

An effective ABAC programme is not just about having a policy—it must be embedded into business operations, supported by leadership and monitored for effectiveness.

A robust ABAC framework includes


  • Risk assessments to identify high-risk transactions, functions or geographies
  • Due diligence and screening of third-party agents, employees, consultants and vendors
  • Policy development covering gifts, entertainment, donations and facilitation payments
  • Employee training tailored to local context, job function and regulatory landscape
  • Monitoring of payments, contracts and red-flag indicators, supported by forensic analytics
  • Incident response protocols and whistle-blower protection mechanisms

This service is especially relevant for sectors including construction, energy, logistics, defence, healthcare and public procurement—where government-facing activities are frequent and enforcement is tightening. An ABAC review not only ensures legal compliance, but also builds trust with partners, investors and customers.
