The difference between "Payment" and "Offers of Payments"
Hi everyone,
I am a newcomer to this forum and I am happy to get a chance to discuss somethings with you all.
Here I bring a question with me on the first day I get here and I really expect some responses from you, the question is indicated as the caption: the difference between "Payment" and "Offers of Payments". For example,Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company, even though these parties are not always subject to our control.
Looking forward to your kind help and response.
Thanks a lot
Claire

Hi Claire, and welcome to the forums. If the payment was actually made, it was a payment. If the person suggested a payment be made, it was an offer of a payment.

Welcome to our forum, Claire.
I think you meant to ask the difference between "unauthorized payments" and "offers of payment.".
A payment is when money is paid for a service or some goods. An "offer of payment" is when someone offers to pay you for a service you performed or goods you have delivered.
Both "unauthorized payments" and "offers of payment

Hi,
Another possibility might be that what is being discussed is the payment of bribes, or the offering of bribes.
Best wishes,Clive

Indeed, Clive. I would think that the direct use of the word "bribe" would not be politically correct in the same sentence with China, as it would in the case of some other countries where bribery is a "way of doing business.".
