Route gifts and outside requests without inventing universal limits
See this course’s project requirements
An ethics decision file with fictional gifts, outside interests and procurement scenarios, a role/conflict map, disclosure drafts, recusal decisions and a traceable authorized resolution.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Save two fictional disclosure-trigger cards; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save unsent minimal disclosure and restricted routing record; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save recusal/task-owner plan and monitoring question; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save gift-offer register with unsent decline/referral draft; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save reassignment/access audit with actual-change verification needed; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save disclosure/recusal/gift/access/follow-up packet; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- The final packet uses the supplied task-specific constraints and all six records agree.
- Every result can be traced to an identifier, input, calculation or stated decision rule.
- Changed-case practice updates dependent records and keeps holds or uncertainty visible.
- The packet states the learner role, authority boundary and specific next verification needed before real work.

The idea in everyday life
Original fictional workplace practice; paper or a local document is sufficient. The rules and records below are supplied for this exercise, not asserted universal workplace policy. Holly fictional policy:no vendor gifts during active M8 procurement; report offers to E; do not keep or accept pending review. V2 offers meal G1, customer gives ordinary thank-you card G2. No monetary threshold or actual exchange.
Gifts/outside requests can create influence or appearance concerns; applied rules depend on context, so do not translate an exercise gift policy into a global law or automatic dollar safe harbor.
Route gifts and outside requests without inventing universal limits — worked practice
Gifts/outside requests can create influence or appearance concerns; applied rules depend on context, so do not translate an exercise gift policy into a global law or automatic dollar safe harbor.
Holly fictional policy:no vendor gifts during active M8 procurement; report offers to E; do not keep or accept pending review. V2 offers meal G1, customer gives ordinary thank-you card G2. No monetary threshold or actual exchange. Use paper or a local document. Preserve the original case and make a separate changed-case record.
1. Step 1
Identify giver/work matter and timing for each offer.
You should see: G1 vendor V2 during M8; G2 customer card not stated as vendor offer.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
2. Step 2
Apply specified G1 hold/report rule.
You should see: Do not accept G1; route E.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
3. Step 3
Mark G2 decision as context question rather than invented approval.
You should see: No applicable G2 rule supplied; request responsible policy review.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
4. Step 4
Save gift-offer register with unsent decline/referral draft.
You should see: No imagined dollar exemption or actual receipt.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
What to finish
Save gift-offer register with unsent decline/referral draft; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
Watch for this
Inventing a low-dollar gift allowance or using a new label to evade a stated review rule.
How can I tell I understand it?
Using the supplied identifiers, I can save gift-offer register with unsent decline/referral draft. My changed-case record names the revised condition and explains which dependent decision it changes.
