Bribery exists for many reasons, but usually at the center is a desire to for unscrupulous business persons or officials to make more money by cutting corners in some way. Bribery can have a wide range of impacts, both within a business and the community as a whole, affecting the people directly involved in the bribery and those who aren't. For instance, when caught, both an individual convicted of bribery and the corporation that the individual works for can both be held criminally and civilly liable. Individuals may face jail time and large fines, while a criminally liable corporation will face fines, civil liabilities, and possible consequences for company leadership.
