Indicators of Foreign Bribery: Insights from the International Foreign Bribery Taskforce


Posted on March 6, 2026

The Bribery Prevention Network and members of the International Foreign Bribery Taskforce (IFBT) recently hosted a webinar exploring the key indicators of foreign bribery.

Foreign bribery remains a significant threat to global market integrity, often hidden behind complex corporate structures and sophisticated financial transactions. To help organisations and the public identify these hidden risks, the IFBT released a landmark publication, Indicators of Foreign Bribery, which served as the foundation for this session.

During the webinar, expert speakers from the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the New Zealand Serious Fraud Office (SFO) unpacked these indicators and provided practical insights into how organisations can recognise and report suspicious activity.

The session covered the collaborative mission of the BPN and the IFBT; a powerful alliance between the AFP, FBI, UK National Crime Agency, UK Serious Fraud Office, NZ SFO, NZ Police, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Attendees discovered more about the newly published indicators, including critical risk areas such as conduct, government affiliations, and country links.

The presentation also featured real-world case studies illustrating how these indicators manifest in practice and an interactive Q&A session with senior specialists.
