It could include gifts, services or any other form of benefit intended to influence the actions or decisions of an agent.

Individuals found guilty of offering or accepting improper advantages can face severe penalties, including substantial fines and imprisonment. These punitive measures underscore the seriousness of corruption offences and serve as a deterrent to potential wrongdoers.

By understanding the provisions of the P-O-B-O and adhering to its regulations, legal professionals can contribute to the promotion of integrity, transparency and accountability in business practices.
