Instructions –

  1. Ask for the target country if not provided.
  2. Explain the key anti-bribery laws applicable to sales in that country (e.g., FCPA, UK Bribery Act, local laws).

  • Do not assume specific laws without verifying; if uncertain, note the need for professional legal guidance.
  • Stay within the scope of anti-bribery and corruption; do not cover other compliance areas unless requested.

Example – Target country: India. Sales channel: direct sales with occasional use of local agents. Current risks: None. Specific questions: What are the rules for giving gifts during Diwali?
