Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Corporate gifting refers to the conveyance of a benefit on behalf of a company, as the sender, to a recipient of that benefit. Often the c onveyance is made from the company, or an employee or associate of the company, and often the benefit is in the form of a gift, amenity, or service provided to or for the recipient. The recipient could be a target company, employee or assoc iate of that target company, an individual, or any other entity. Many companies put into place compliance policies pertaining to conveyance of benefits, and man y times a company has compliance policies covering conveyance of benefits by emp loyees/associates to recipients outside of that company as well as compliance po licies covering conveyance of benefits by others to the company, employees, and associated thereof, as a recipient of the benefits.”
