''Criminal law - Bribery.''
The surplus of the amount received back from an investment, compared with the initial amount invested.  


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


Senior management need to demonstrate their commitment to preventing bribery and this commitment has to be communicated to persons associated with the company.
When expressed on this basis, the rate of return is also known as 'yield'.
