Gifts and hospitality are a normal part of business and legitimate when used appropriately. This 15-minute express course helps staff recognise the risks arising from them, understand what is and is not acceptable in corporate gift-giving and entertainment, and comply with the company's own policy including thresholds, approval and recording requirements.
The difficulty is that nothing about a gift announces itself as a bribe, and the perception of influence is enough to cause damage. Timing matters more than value: the same lunch is unremarkable in March and a problem during a tender. Giving staff a clear test and a low threshold for recording keeps your gifts register meaningful and protects individuals from an easy mistake.
