it's so INANE. Yes, of course this is a bloody great red flag for tax evasion

I swear your company has the same "training" provider as me Example Q: "Brian and Linda are old friends, but work for different companies now and turns out they're bidding for the same work. Should Brian accept a fancy dinner from Linda and let her company have a free run at the tender in return"

I guess they’re hoping you remember at least this one slide when completing your course evaluation form.

there’s an art to getting through those terrible corporate training modules as quickly as possible and paying the minimum attention necessary to click in the right place. I’ve had to do the same slightly racist one on fraud for about 10 years and I’m sure I could pass it with my eyes closed

Training like that has nothing to do with you understanding the subject better. It has everything to do with being able to throw you under the bus if you make a mistake. “well you did receive training…”

In my experience, it is sadly more banal than that. When the auditors come around to renew your certifications, a question will be "Is your workforce aware of Corporate Tax evasion?" The company can say, "yes, we have a 100% compliance on taking the course."

Just did my bribery one. “What would you do if someone offered you cash to sign a contract?” Apparently “take it then send a mail saying I’m not important enough to make deal” is wrong

Honestly, there's no room for creativity in how you deal with dodgy shit these days. Probably because of woke.

Ah, the number of baseball, hockey (ice) and basketball games I used to see in the hospitality suite of some vendor back in the day. Never changed the decision on a vendor, as it was well above my pay grade. But so many free chicken wings and beer watching the ball-sport.

As a result of this e-learning course I can now spot tax evasion and can therefore sidle up to the baddies and demand to be cut in as a bribe to stop me grassing them up.
