Corruption

The Bribery Act 2010 becomes enforceable law in April 2011. In preparation, Hermes is working with a broad range of clients to implement - easy to follow - policies, procedures, systems and controls, including training and workshop programs to enable them to meet with the legal requirements and where applicable, regulatory expectations.
