As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly draft an anti-bribery policy for your UK business.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the current anti-bribery guidance on GOV.UK and note the principles and examples that apply to your business.
   2. Gather your business name, sector, operating locations, employee groups, public-sector dealings, higher-risk countries or activities, agents, distributors, consultants and suppliers.
   3. Gather your existing gifts and hospitality rules, approval limits, reporting channels, whistleblowing process, disciplinary rules, training arrangements and policy owner.
   4. Paste the prompt and the gathered information into an AI chat, keeping every unknown item marked as [TO CONFIRM].
   5. Compare each legal or regulatory statement in the draft with the GOV.UK guidance you opened, and remove any claim the source does not support.
   6. Send the draft, the unanswered [TO CONFIRM] questions and the source comparison to a UK solicitor or suitably qualified compliance professional for review before approval.
   7. After review, obtain approval from the business owner or board, publish the final policy to the intended audience and record how staff and relevant third parties will receive training.

   Prompt

   Draft an anti-bribery policy for a UK business using the information below. Write it in plain British English for employees, contractors and relevant third parties. Cover the purpose and scope, prohibited bribery, gifts and hospitality, facilitation payments, political and charitable contributions, conflicts of interest, dealings with public officials, intermediaries and suppliers, due diligence, approvals, record keeping, reporting concerns, protection from retaliation, investigation, training, monitoring, disciplinary action and policy ownership. Distinguish between legal or regulatory requirements and choices made by the business. Do not invent facts, controls, approval limits, reporting channels, penalties or job titles. Where information is missing, insert a clearly labelled [TO CONFIRM] note and list the question I need to answer. Base general legal context on current official UK Government guidance and identify any point that needs checking against the source. Do not claim that this document guarantees compliance. End with a short implementation checklist and a list of issues a UK solicitor should review. Business information: [business name and sector], [locations and countries of operation], [number and type of employees], [use of agents, distributors or consultants], [main customers and suppliers], [public-sector dealings], [current approval and reporting processes], [existing related policies], [policy owner], [intended effective date].
