The UK Bribery Act 2010 requires that the procedures an organisation puts in place to combat bribery should be proportionate to the risks the organisation faces, and to the nature, scale and complexity of its activities.  
To facilitate comparisons, return is usually expressed as a percentage of the initial amount invested, most commonly as an effective annual rate of return.


Senior management need to demonstrate their commitment to preventing bribery and this commitment must be communicated to persons associated with the organisation.
Returns can be negative.


Negative returns mean that the amounts received back from an investment are less than the amounts initially invested.
