Copenhagen Charter on Bribery, Fraud and Corruption (BFC) is a system of controls, tests, procedures, protocols and guidelines. The Charter is created to develop and promote international standards to combat BFC across the company's corporate governance, risk management and compliance responsibilities as well as activities. Bribery, Fraud and Corruption (BFC) concerns are now recognized as a serious problem throughout the international corporate community and an obstacle for continued economic development. The current trend is to combat BFC all levels. Traditional brown envelopes are converted to the use of complex organization & ownership structures, third parties for conduit payments, the use of shell companies or charities to filter bribes - the list is long. The above issues not only result in companies having to face unique and complex anti-corruption challenges, but also adds to the potential liability and exposure under several international anti-corruption and bribery mandates. In the face of the current rigorous scrutiny from oversight authorities e.g. on The UK Bribery Act (BA) and USA Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), companies cannot afford to be complacent in maintaining robust BFC compliance policies and procedures. Membership of the Copenhagen Charter provides organisations with the attention, monitoring and maintenance of BFC Compliance programs. Through one of our certification programs we can assist your organization in avoiding investigation.
