This course provides in-depth information on how to avoid directly or indirectly bribing a public official.
Description
A key area within anti-bribery and corruption regulation is the risk associated with offering bribes to public officials. There are a number of ethical and legal issues around offering a bribe to public officials. Hidden admin fees, indirect payments and facilitation payments are all considered as bribes however some employees may not have prior knowledge of this. Adhering to good practice at all times as well as having a robust anti-bribery and corruption policy can help businesses maintain integrity and compliance.
The course particularly focuses on hidden admin fees, facilitation payments, indirect payments or trading favours in exchange for favourable treatment which can all be seen as bribes. Learners will go behind the scenes at a fictitious firm, Soma Group. Learners take charge of an International Sales employee within the company who is about to go on their first solo trip to represent the company. Along the way, learners will understand various scenarios involving public officials and how to avoid the pitfalls of bribery and corruption.
