The much anticipated Bribery Act 2010 (The Act) of the United Kingdom came into force on 1st July 2011.  The Act is broad and covers any act or omission intending to gain a financial or other advantage or any act or omission which one knows or believes would result in the gain of a reward consequent to that improper conduct.
