appropriate gift Explanation: What is an Appropriate Gift Appropriate gifts and hospitality have an acceptable form and value that is proportionate to the circumstances; they are offered openly, with legitimate intent and no specific expectation of return but are equivalent to what might be provided in return; their exchange should not be a cause for concern if published in the public domain. In considering the offer or receipt of gifts or hospitality, University staff and representatives are encouraged to use the following checklist to help determine whether an offer is appropriate: What is the form of the gift or hospitality? Cash or equivalent vouchers, credit, personal discounts, etc. should never be accepted or offered since there are likely to be tax implications and there may also be an appearance (or reality) of bribery, fraud or corruption. Similarly, hospitality of an illegal or improper nature is not acceptable. What is the actual or estimated value? Disproportionate or lavish gifts and hospitality should be avoided – taking into account the reason why or circumstances in which it is being offered, is it of an appropriate value to the occasion? How and when is it offered? Offers made immediately prior to or during a decision-making process that might affect the person making the offer, or offers made in a manner that is not open and transparent are unlikely to be legitimate gifts or hospitality and may breach not only this University Policy but also criminal law. What is the intent? The building or maintenance of academic, collaborative, professional or business relationships is usually acceptable; what is not acceptable is where the underlying intent is to exert undue influence on a decision, activity or outcome or to induce someone to act improperly.
