<p>The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) does not hold a discernible record of allegations
relating to bribery prior to 2013. The number of referrals for the period 2013 to
September 2016 that contain allegations of bribery or corruption are provided in the
following table. SFO records categorise referral data as relating to fraud and or
bribery and corruption but do not differentiate between allegations of domestic or
overseas bribery. To determine such information would require a manual review of each
file, which would incur a disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td
