Gifts and Hospitality

Gifts and hospitality are an important part of business, and companies worldwide employ this. Corporate gift-giving is indeed legal when used appropriately.

However, gifts and hospitality can cause conflicts of interest and be used as bribes in extreme cases. To avoid inadvertent violations, it's important to understand what constitutes an inappropriate gift.

Our Gifts and Hospitality Course explains the risks associated with gifts and hospitality and outlines what is acceptable with respect to corporate gift giving.

Your questions, answered

How can I monitor and manage anti-bribery compliance in my organisation?

Implementing a gifts and hospitality register enables you to monitor and manage anti-bribery compliance effectively. Employees can log gifts, entertainment, and hospitality, providing a transparent overview of potential risks.

How can I effectively distribute my anti-bribery policy to employees?

Our Policy Hub allows you to upload and distribute your anti-bribery policy seamlessly to all employees. This centralised platform simplifies policy distribution and includes an attestation feature, ensuring employees acknowledge and commit to complying with the policy.

Are the courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools like declarationssurveys, and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

Can users only view the courses assigned to them?

No. All users can view all the courses in your Portal. Additionally, some of these courses may be mandatory, requiring completion by the given deadline.
