Document background
The Client Entertainment Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in Canada, providing clear guidelines for business-related entertainment activities. This policy becomes necessary as organizations engage in client relationship management while ensuring compliance with Canadian tax regulations, anti-corruption laws, and provincial requirements. It addresses key areas including spending thresholds, acceptable entertainment activities, approval processes, and documentation requirements. The policy helps organizations maintain proper financial controls, ensure tax compliance, and prevent potential ethical issues while fostering positive business relationships. It is particularly important given Canada's specific requirements regarding business entertainment expense deductibility and anti-corruption regulations.
