17.2 The Policy: graduate-jobs.com Limited prohibits the Board of Directors in:

17.2.1 the offering, the giving, the solicitation or the acceptance of any bribe, whether cash or other inducement to or from any person or company, wherever they are situated and whether they are a public official or body or private person or company by any individual consultant, agent or other person or body acting on the Board of Directors' behalf in order to gain any commercial, contractual or regulatory advantage for the Board of Directors in a way which is unethical or in order to gain any personal advantage, pecuniary or otherwise, for the individual or anyone connected with the individual.

17.3 Further clarification: The Board of Directors recognises that market practice varies across the territories in which it does business and what is normal and acceptable in one place may not be in another. This policy prohibits any inducement which results in a personal gain or advantage to the recipient or any person or body associated with them, and which is intended to influence them to take action which may not be solely in the interests of the Board of Directors or of the person or body employing or contracting with them or whom they represent.

17.4 This policy is not meant to prohibit the following practices providing they are customary in a particular market, are proportionate and are properly recorded:

17.4.1 normal and appropriate hospitality

17.4.2 the giving of a gift for a corporate reason or at another special time, as long as reported in the proper manner within the firm on the gifts register

17.5 Inevitably, decisions as to what is acceptable may not always be easy. If anyone is in doubt as to whether a potential act constitutes bribery, the matter should be referred to the local senior manager with responsibility for this policy before proceeding. If necessary, guidance should also be sought from the Compliance Officer.

17.6 Consultants and Principles Responsibility within graduate-jobs.com Limited: The prevention, detection and reporting of bribery is the responsibility of all consultants throughout the Board of Directors. Suitable channels of communication by which consultants or others can report confidentially any suspicion of bribery will be maintained via the Anti-Corruption Reporting procedures.
