Bribery Act – Providing hospitality, promotional or other business expenditure
May 11, 2011 | 
Author Does the new Bribery Act that becomes law on 1st July 2011 restrict the provision of hospitality, promotional or other business expenditure?
Providing genuine and proportionate business hospitality and expenditure will not be considered as bribery as defined by the Act, but if it was thought that the hospitality was really a cover for bribing someone then the level of hospitality offered, the way in which it was provided and the level of influence the person receiving it had on the business decision in question might be challenged by the authorities.
Therefore hospitality or promotional expenditure which is proportionate and reasonably given can continue. i.e. Businesses may provide tickets to sporting events, take clients to dinner or offer gifts to clients as a reflection of their good relations.
