Modern business moves fast, and it’s important to have the competitive advantage. But at what cost? Giving gifts can strengthen business relationships – but when do they cross the line? Business partners represent the organizations they work with and it’s important to have the answers to these questions.
Our Global Anti-Bribery Basics for Business Partners course provides critical information to business partners to ensure they understand when gifts, entertainment or hospitality cross the line from business to bribe. Learners will explore appropriate and inappropriate gifts and entertainment, with additional training on government and foreign officials and the important obligations of business partners. They’ll also review the critical role accurate recordkeeping plays in avoiding liability.
There is a place for gifts and entertainment in business. However, bribery is never welcome. And the actions of business partners can impact the reputations and legal liability of the organizations they work with. Solid training is vital.
