Anti-Bribery and Corruption-S. 17A Corporate Liability Perspective (Online or Classroom)

---

Program Overview

It has been 3 months since Henry started his position as a VP of a Business Unit in this newly joined company. He is intelligent, charismatic, persuasive and extremely money-driven. Upon understanding the overall production process, he saw an opportunity for a variable income bonus. He devised a plan to convince the management and had succeeded in gaining their buy-in. The plan is for every 100% production yield achieved, there will be a 250% bonus payout. To achieve his goals, he immediately replaced 5 current HODs with his former team from his previous company as they are loyal and comfortable with his working style. He shared the plan with his team and promised them a bonus income. He convinced them to provide a good yield report and whenever it does not hit 100%, alter it to 100% and destroy the original lot reports. Henry can be charged under section 18 MACC Act 2009 for intending to deceive (false claim).
