Canadian businesses, organizations and governments are not immune from the pressures of domestic and international bribery and corruption of public officials. As Canadian businesses continue to expand their corporate presence overseas, governmental statutes and regulations have established more anti-corruption rules against the bribery of foreign public officials by Canadian companies and their directors and officers. Until Canadian Anti-Corruption Law and Compliance, there was no book focused exclusively on anti-corruption laws in Canada. This unique book has been edited and expanded to deal with domestic corruption of public officials, given the rise in media, social, and legal awareness of increased domestic bribery and corruption activity in Canada.

This book will help corporate compliance officers, in-house counsel, procurement officials, lawyers, law enforcement officials, government policy makers, and in-house counsel understand the scope and gravity of these laws. Non-compliance may result in police investigations, prosecution, high legal costs, hefty fines and even imprisonment. Civil liability for related failure to ensure a sufficient compliance program to prevent bribery, corruption and fraud is also growing in Canada.
