Clients operating across Asia Pacific face strict anti-bribery laws often coupled with a cultural tradition of gift giving and relationship building. Our new improved and expanded edition on “Gifts, Entertainment, Travel and Training” is aimed at helping clients navigate the local and international anti-bribery rules relating to the giving of gifts and entertainment. These rules often differ across jurisdictions and our Guide provides helpful guidance on what may or may not be prohibited and what steps can be taken to minimise the risk of falling foul of anti-bribery laws.
The Guide covers 15 jurisdictions across the region and provides practical guidance on parameters for the provision of gifts, and business hospitality, the status of charitable donations and benefits provided to third parties, and whether authorisation may mitigate liability. In this new expanded version of the Guide we have also included chapters summarising the key long-arm statutes, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act, and have included handy ‘at a glance’ checklists at the end of each country chapter.
