Description

Anti-Bribery Awareness: Qualifying, Declining and Escalating at the Right Moment

Recognise situations that carry bribery risk and apply the expected professional reflexes

  • 1 day — 7 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

Bribery rarely appears in obvious forms. A customary gift an invitation to a trade exhibition a commissioned intermediary or a convenience hire can be enough to expose the company and its directors. Employees in exposed roles do not always have simple reference points to qualify what they observe.

A short awareness format open to all employees. You identify the offences and the situations that characterise them. You apply internal rules on gifts intermediaries and facilitation requests. You know how to use the reporting channel and document your decision.

Learning objectives

  • Identify offences relating to bribery and trading in influence
  • Spot risk situations within your day-to-day activity
  • Apply internal rules on gifts and hospitality
  • Assess an intermediary before entering into a business relationship
  • Use the internal reporting channel and understand its protections

What makes this programme different

The situations examined are drawn from the actual roles held by participants
A gifts and hospitality decision tree is built and taken away by each participant
Handling a solicitation from an intermediary is role-played through to the decision
