Changes have been made to the draft bribery bill to bring greater transparency and accountability to international business deals.

The Guardian reports:

"Last October the government was strongly criticised by a global watchdog for its "continued failure" to meet its international obligations in tackling bribery.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) working group on bribery called for swift introduction of foreign bribery legislation in Britain and to "establish effective corporate liability for bribery as a matter of high priority"."
