Anti-bribery and Corruption
A comprehensive ABC policy and management system must be able to manage multiple activities simultaneously in order to effectively meet anti-bribery and corruption regulations. MyComplianceOffice created an integrated solution that can monitor employee compliance, outside business activities, political contributions and third-party risk.
Gifts and Hospitality Policy
It is vitally important that organizations have a strong gifts and entertainment policy that considers all the jurisdictions in which the business operates and follows local compliance and legislative obligations. Third parties, agents, consultants and distributors should also be considered when creating policy.
Giving Gifts to Customers
Giving gifts to customers is common in global business and often important in maintaining positive client relations but this practice could be putting the organization at risk if not effectively managed. Compliance should be able to identify patterns of behavior that could signal code of conduct violations.
