Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Please read the following statement and confirm if you think it is true or false? "The main aim of the Age UK Anti Bribery procedure is to stop individuals taking gifts and hospitality”

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The answer is false. The main aim of the procedure is to prevent corruption when awarding major contracts and engaging in business relationships. Whilst Age UK feels it is important to exercise some caution in relation to giving or accepting a gift or hospitality the aim is not to stop it altogether. In general, the provision of small gifts and inexpensive hospitality will continue as long as it is within reasonable boundaries and recorded on the gift and hospitality register.

  • 2. 

    I have been given an expensive gift by someone who wants me to keep back stock for them at the shop I work at. Who do I go to for advice (select all that apply).

    • A.

      Your Manager

    • B.

      The Operational Risk Manager

    • C.

      The Police

    • D.

      A colleague

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Your Manager
    B. The Operational Risk Manager
    Explanation
    In this instance you might want to speak to your Manager about your concerns in the first instance. Your manager may advise you to speak directly to the Operational Risk Manager to talk about your concerns or may speak to them on your behalf. The police would not generally be your first port of call as Age UK has a very thorough procedure to look into these kinds of things.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Once you have spoken to the Operational Risk Manager and filled in the appropriate report forms (and there appears to be a bribery issue), what are your actions? (Select all that apply).

    • A.

      Inform your colleagues in the team of your suspicion

    • B.

      Tell the colleague involved

    • C.

      Inform the police

    • D.

      Hand the problem to the Operational Risk Manager

    • E.

      Keep it confidential

    Correct Answer(s)
    D. Hand the problem to the Operational Risk Manager
    E. Keep it confidential
    Explanation
    Bribery is a very serious matter and once concerns are raised it is vitally important that they are investigated thoroughly and properly. Your Operational Risk Manager will thank you for raising your concern and will inform you to keep the situation confidential for the moment. This is not to cover up your concern but in order that the Operational Risk Manager can ensure that the person allegations are made about is treated fairly during the investigation phase, after all the bribery may not have occurred and it would not be fair to make comments on the individual’s guilt before the investigation has occurred.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    You have completed the self check tool and sought advice from your Operational Risk Manager. You have reasonable believe that one of your colleagues has committed an offense of bribery and have completed and submitted an Anti Bribery Report Form. What further actions might you have to take following the submission of your report form? (Select all that apply).

    • A.

      You have completed the self check tool and Attend an investigation meeting to give more information

    • B.

      Provide evidence to back up your allegations

    • C.

      Produce an investigation report

    • D.

      Act as a witness during a disciplinary hearing

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. You have completed the self check tool and Attend an investigation meeting to give more information
    B. Provide evidence to back up your allegations
    D. Act as a witness during a disciplinary hearing
    Explanation
    The Operational Risk Manager will start the investigation process which involves many very important steps. As part of the investigation they will want to speak to you formally about the allegations you have made and ask you to attend an investigation meeting. You will be asked to bring along any evidence to support what you know and back up your allegations. However you will not be asked to produce an investigation report. Once the investigation meeting has taken place, it is the job of the Operational Risk Manager to pull together a report which will be shared with a Senior Manager who will make the decision whether to call the person the allegation was made about to a disciplinary hearing. You will be asked to attend the hearing to state your evidence again to the Senior Manager.

    C. You could be fined
    D. You could land up in prison
    E. The company may be prosecuted for failure to prevent bribery
    Explanation
    The answer is the entire above dependent on the seriousness of the bribery offence. Age UK takes bribery very seriously and all bribery taking place will be treated formally.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The Age UK Anti Bribery Policy and Procedure and training mainly covers Gifts and Hospitality? Why is this? (select all that apply)

    • A.

      Age UK requires that you no longer accept gifts in the course of your duties

    • B.

      Age UK feels that it is important to ensure that the ‘rules’ or policy on giving and receiving of gifts and hospitality are clear and that you do not fall foul of the Bribery Act

    • C.

      Age UK thinks it is wrong to attend events and accept any hospitality which is business related

    Correct Answer
    B. Age UK feels that it is important to ensure that the ‘rules’ or policy on giving and receiving of gifts and hospitality are clear and that you do not fall foul of the Bribery Act
    Explanation
    The Bribery Act sees gifts and hospitality as one of the primary ways in which organisations might ‘bribe’ one another. As such it is really important that Age UK states what their rules are and gives you clear guidelines. The law leaves it to Age UK to decide what we can and can’t do during the course of our day job. This is fully covered in the Age UK Anti Bribery Policy and Procedure and the Guide to Gifts and Hospitality at Age UK.
