Integrity PolicySECTION 17A MACC CORPORATE LIABILITY Regulatory Background On 1 June 2020, Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 (“MACCA”) came into force. Section 17A introduces an offence by commercial organisations, which has its sights aimed squarely at the private sector. In 2021, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption brought charges under section 17A for the very first time, against a local company and ait’s director. Under Section 17A, a commercial organisation can be charged with a criminal offence if an associated person (e.g. employees, directors, partners, external service providers, etc.) commits an act of bribery or corruption for the benefit of the commercial organisation, even if the bribe was not authorised by the commercial organisation. Furthermore, directors or other persons concerned with the management of the commercial organisation at the time of commission of the offence will also be deemed liable. The introduction of Section 17A has significantly increased the risks to commercial organisations and their management. Under the previous law, when an employee of a commercial organisation gave a bribe to another entity to secure an advantage (e.g. to secure business/contract or obtain a permit or license.), the employee giving the bribe and the other employee of the entity receiving the bribe could be prosecuted under the MACCA. It would be difficult wot prosecute the commercial organisation itself and the directors/management, if they did not authorise the bribe or have any knowledge of it. With the introduction of Section 17A, there are significant ramifications on the liability of the commercial organisations and the directors/management. Section 17A introduces the strict liability concept of ‘Corporate Liability’. This effectively means that in the example above:-
Even if the company of directors/management did not authorise the bribe nor had any knowledge of it, such a defence is insufficient, by itself, to absolve them of liability. In order for the company to be absolved from liability, it must be proven that the company had ‘adequate procedures’ to prevent ‘person associated’ with the company from undertaking such conduct. Similarly for the directors/management to defend themselves from prosecution, they need to prove BOTH of the following:-
“Persons associated” to a commercial organisation could mean directors, partners, employees and persons who perform services on behalf of the commercial organisation. This means that non-employees such as service providers who engage in bribery could also implicate the commercial organisation under the concept of Corporate Liability. Hence, the risk of rogues employees or service providers giving bribes could now easily implicate the organisation itself and/or directors/management. The penalty under section 17A of the MACC Act is very severe, being:-
Due to the above, the directors and management of the commercial organisations must now take active steps to ensure that the commercial organisation has ‘adequate procedures’ to prevent bribery. This would then provide a defence to the commercial organisation and the directors/management in the case of a rogue employee/service provider committing a corruption offence. The Guidelines on Adequate Procedures published by the Prime Minister’s Department of Malaysia provide further clarity on what adequate procedures are. |
