Abstract
This paper delves into the realm of corruption within commercial organizations in India, focusing on the implications of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018. The study examines the challenges faced by Indian commercial entities in adopting anti-bribery measures voluntarily, as well as the expanded scope of the Act to include criminal liability for both individuals and corporations. Through an analysis of legislative support, burden of proof requirements, and the need for internal preventive mechanisms, the paper highlights the complexities and responsibilities placed on corporations to combat corruption effectively. By exploring the impact of the amendments on corporate governance and the economic landscape, this research sheds light on the evolving regulatory framework and its significance for promoting integrity and transparency in India's business sector.
