Description

Anti-Bribery Compliance for Non-Specialists: Spot, Decide, Report

Recognise a high-risk situation in your day-to-day work and know who to escalate it to

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

Employees who negotiate, buy, travel or respond to tenders regularly encounter ambiguous situations without identifying them as such: an unusually generous invitation, a consultant imposed by the client, an invoice whose purpose remains vague. Without clear reference points, they decide alone.

This short programme is designed for professionals who are not compliance specialists. It provides a shared vocabulary, describes the most frequent situations and instils three reflexes: verify before accepting, document what is decided, escalate what feels wrong. Everything remains focused on decisions taken at the workstation.

Learning objectives

  • Name the main integrity breaches encountered in business life
  • Identify the high-risk situations specific to your own role
  • Apply a decision rule when offered a gift or an invitation
  • Document a sensitive transaction so that it can be accounted for
  • Use your organisation's escalation channel and reporting mechanism

What makes this programme different

A test based on real workplace situations with commented answers
A decision rule built on a handful of questions to ask before accepting
How to spot warning signs regarding an intermediary or business introducer

Programme

1Vocabulary and situations

Putting words to what you encounter

  • Bribery, improper influence and favouritism
  • The difference between a commercial gesture and an undue advantage
  • Risks linked to intermediaries and business introducers
  • Consequences for the employee and for the organisation

2Deciding day to day

A simple rule rather than permanent doubt

  • Assessing a gift or an invitation before accepting it
  • Responding to an unusual payment request
  • Handling a personal or family conflict of interest
  • Documenting the transaction so that it can be explained later

3Reporting and protecting yourself

Not being left alone with your doubts

  • Identifying your compliance contact person
  • Using the internal reporting mechanism
  • Protection available to a person who raises a report
  • How to respond to pressure from management
