The recent update to the CQS Core Practice Management Standards (CPMS) requires CQS firms to have a policy in place in relation to Anti-Bribery (s5.14).
Policy documents can be time-consuming and difficult to prepare without a Policy Template as a starting point.
Lexsure’s COMPLETIONmonitor team have drafted a set of policy templates designed to make it simpler for conveyancing firms to meet their compliance obligations .
The Anti-Bribery Policy Template includes reference to:
Gifts and Hospitality
Responsibilities (including record keeping)
Kickbacks
Non-compliance implications
...as well as other formalities and general obligations as required under 5.14 of the CPMS.
