## Prompt

```text
Help me review a gift, hospitality, or sponsorship request for anti-bribery risk.

**What is proposed:** [gift / meal / event / travel / sponsorship / donation - with description]
**Value:** [AMOUNT per person and total]
**Giver and recipient:** [who in our company, who on the other side - role and organization]
**Is the recipient a government official or state-owned entity employee?** [YES / NO / UNSURE]
**Business context:** [any pending tender, contract, license, renewal, inspection, or dispute]
**History:** [other gifts or hospitality to the same person in the last 12 months]
**Our policy limits and approval rules:** [PASTE]

Evaluate:
1. **Policy check** - within limits? Correct approver? Pre-approval required?
2. **Red flags** - timing near a business decision, lavish or frequent, cash or cash equivalents, family members invited, travel with leisure elements, requests from the recipient, payments to third parties, poor documentation.
3. **Public official considerations** - stricter limits, local rules, and whether the recipient's organization permits acceptance.
4. **Sponsorship or donation checks** - beneficiary due diligence, links to officials, a genuine purpose, and a written agreement.
5. **Recommendation** - approve / approve with changes (e.g. reduce value, remove spouses, pay hotel directly) / decline.
6. **Decision note** for the requester and a register entry.

When unsure whether the recipient is a public official, treat them as one. Anti-bribery laws differ by country; escalate borderline cases to legal.
