What if I’ve received an urgent email from a contractor with an attachment. It seems pretty genuine even though it’s from a team member I don’t know…
Don’t click on the link or open the attachment. Computer viruses are often sent this way and can cause significant damage to our information. Always double-click on the email address to check the sender’s authenticity and see if the email is littered with spelling or grammatical mistakes. If you have any concerns or questions, contact GroupIT@banijay.com.
What exactly counts as a bribe? Is it just cash?
No, it’s not just cash! A bribe is any offer, promise, or gift of money, goods, services, or other valuable items with the intent to influence the actions of the recipient in favour of the giver. This can include cash payments, lavish gifts, or other benefits offered to secure business advantages.

- Can I do business with a third-party based in a high-risk country?

They will help you understand the Due Diligence report and check if any issues have been identified. You should also get in touch with your local legal team if you are unsure of whether a third party poses a high risk.
