Don't do it. That's a bad reason to get on a list of people who aren't in compliance and could negatively affect your comp next performance round.

In training that seemed to be the one thing that's a no-no.

It's against policy and could get you fired - that sort of stuff needs to be cleared ahead of time

Ok, fired is a stretch, but it will get you a stern talking to.

If you purchase something for a client which could be interpreted as a "gift" and it exceeds ACN's policy or the client's or both, the consequences could be severe. It's covered in the mandatory ethics training.

Sounds like it's booking travel to travel to their client....only do it if there is a reason. Like a wbs doesn't exist yet. You'll get flagged for audit every time and it's a pain.

Did that for 10+ years and never had any issues

Btw our policies also say to not work over 40 hours unless you are charging for it....how many of you follow that policy.

If i followed all of the policies while i was there...life would have sucked

I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?
