Gifts and entertainment can strengthen business ties. However, bribery and corruption are never welcome or acceptable. So, it’s critical that employees understand the difference. This is especially true for employees working for a business partner, because their actions can impact the reputation and legal liability of the organization they work for and the primary organization – which can put important business relationships in jeopardy.
Anti-Bribery and Corruption for Business Partners provides essential information to ensure learners understand their obligations as a business partner. After an introductory overview of some of the key bribery laws around the globe, the course begins with foundational concepts and definitions, including bribery, “anything of value,” and government officials. It progresses to include guidelines for navigating gifts, entertainment and hospitality, as well as best practices for interacting with primary organizations.
Employees need to understand the line between business and bribe – and never cross it.
