  7. Anti bribery policy

The Bribery Act 2010 provides the four main offences.

  1. Giving or offering a bribe.
  2. Receiving or requesting a bribe.
  3. Bribing a foreign public official (also known as facilitation payments).
  4. Negligently failing to prevent a bribe (corporate offence).

Under the Bribery Act, an offence has been committed even if no money or goods have been exchanged and a bribe has no minimum value.

Examples of bribery may include, but not limited to:

  • offering a financial incentive to anyone involved in the running of the AARA to provide you with exam material before an exam
  • offering a financial incentive to anyone involved in the running of the AARA to gain a pass in the AARA.

Individuals who commit bribery against the GMC may face criminal prosecution, civil action, disciplinary action or striking off (if the individual is a member). If found guilty of bribery, the individual may receive a ten-year custodial sentence and unlimited fines.
