Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Procurement professionals may be faced with offers of gifts including money in return for awarding contracts to a particular bidder, or similar. This is an attempt at bribery, which is illegal in most countries, and would be a breach of the CIPS Code of Conduct if the buyer were to accept.

Anti-bribery legislation in countries such as the UK and US extends across borders, and penalties for breach of this legislation can include imprisonment.
