1.  If a destination is questionable as to whether it will be required for a project should it be included?

Explanation

Including a destination that may not be required for the project is recommended because it allows for flexibility. If the destination is included initially and later determined to be unnecessary, it can be easily withdrawn without significant consequences. This approach minimizes costs and avoids potential delays in the project review process.

2. In a project involving multiple countries, if the first country destination for a project is approved but other countries are not, can the project commence?

Explanation

According to AP55, when working in a complex country, approval must be granted before a contractually binding commitment is made. Since work cannot begin without a signed contract, the project cannot commence if other countries have not approved the project. Therefore, the correct answer is "No - AP55 requires that when working in a complex country approval must be granted BEFORE a contractually binding commitment is made. Since work cannot commence without a signed contract the project cannot commence."

Submit
3. No employee has the authority to commit Accenture to work or to any contractual obligation in a "complex country" or to a "geographic expansion" before obtaining approval under this policy.

Explanation

This statement is true because it states that no employee has the authority to commit Accenture to work or any contractual obligation in a "complex country" or "geographic expansion" without obtaining approval under the policy. This means that any such commitments or obligations must go through the proper approval process before they can be undertaken.

Submit
4. Terry's spouse is from the island of Bermuda which is considered a British Overseas Territory. Terry's in-laws own a home on the island and Terry goes there once a year for vacation. Recently a client has mentioned an opportunity for a project in Bermuda and thinks this would be a perfect fit for Terry since she has housing on the island and is familiar with the culture. Will Terry need an AP55 approval?  HINT:https://sites.accenture.com/publishing/GlobalWatch/Policy55Approvals/Pages/default.aspx

Explanation

Yes, Terry will need an AP55 approval because working in Bermuda can present taxation and legal issues. Since Terry's spouse is from Bermuda and they have a home on the island, they may be subject to local tax laws and legal regulations. Therefore, it is necessary for the project opportunity in Bermuda to go through the AP55 review process to ensure compliance with these requirements.

Submit
5. PRJ-12873 has been delivering work in Kenya for the last 18  months. The clients are happy for the work and have just asked to extend the project a second time for an additional 6 months. Since an AP55 review was completed at the beginning of the project does a new AP55 need to be initiated?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Yes - AP55 needs to be re-done if there is potential impact to status in country, so the review must be done if there is an extension or a change in scope." This is because the AP55 review is necessary if there is a potential impact on the project's status in the country. Since the project is being extended for an additional 6 months, there may be changes in scope or potential impact to the project's status, making it necessary to initiate a new AP55 review.

Submit
6. After 2 weeks an AP55 review has just been completed for PRJ-18764 to begin work in Ghana and the project has been approved. A work permit is currently pending and will take 8 weeks to process. Can participants begin booking travel?

Explanation

Participants cannot begin booking travel because the project must first be cleared by GAP (presumably an organization responsible for participant safety and security) to ensure the safety and security of the participants. The completion of the AP55 review and project approval is not sufficient for participants to start booking travel.

Submit
7. PRJ-73872 is being funded by a donor who has a Memorandum of Understanding with a host government that exempts those working on donor-funded projects from taxes. Under the MOU will Accenture and its employees also be seen as exempt?

Explanation

Accenture and its employees will not be seen as exempt under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) because they are considered a commercial third party and not a fully charitable organization. The exemption from taxes applies specifically to those working on donor-funded projects, and since Accenture is not a charitable organization, they do not fall under this category. Regardless of the scope of their actions, they will be treated as a commercial entity and will not be exempt from taxes under the MOU.

Submit
8. There is a difference in information regarding business visa requirements: Accenture's ET&I team has set a business visa limit of 15 days in a 12 month rolling period for a country in Africa, however their web site says that a business visa is valid for 60 days before a work permit is required. Which information should you follow?

Explanation

The information provided on Accenture's website regarding the business visa validity of 60 days before a work permit is required may be outdated or not reflective of the current requirements. The AP55 review conducted by Accenture's ET&I team takes into account various factors such as local advisory, previous experiences, and potential risk to immigration and employment. This review process is comprehensive and considers multiple complex details to provide a single recommendation. Therefore, it is advisable to follow Accenture's recommendation rather than relying on the information on their website.

Submit
9.  The purpose of AP55 is to:

Explanation

AP55 is intended to define the approval process for proposals involving cross border transactions and contracts. It specifically focuses on transactions where services are expected to be provided in a complex country or require a geographic expansion. This policy aims to establish guidelines and procedures for approving such transactions, ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to effectively manage and execute them.

Submit
10.  Do I need an individual AP55 submission for each country involved in a multi-country project?

Explanation

The correct answer explains that for a multi-country project, each project is reviewed separately. Even if AP55 approval is not required for all countries involved, each country visited must be listed in the submission. This means that even if AP55 approval is not needed for a specific country, it still needs to be mentioned in the submission to provide a comprehensive overview of the project.

Submit
11. Can a non-binding proposal or non-binding contract be submitted in anticipation of AP55 approval?

Explanation

A non-binding proposal or non-binding contract can be submitted in anticipation of AP55 approval because these types of agreements do not legally obligate the parties involved to fulfill the terms outlined. They are often used as a preliminary step to gauge interest and negotiate the terms of a potential agreement. Therefore, it is possible to submit such a proposal or contract before obtaining AP55 approval.

Submit
12. When travelling to a country that requires AP55 review but only staying for a 3 day client workshop, is AP55 approval required for such a short trip?

Explanation

AP55 approval is required for any physical presence in a country subject to AP55, regardless of the duration of the trip. However, this requirement only applies if the activities during the trip are billable to the client. In the case of a 3-day client workshop, where the activities are billable, AP55 approval would be necessary. However, if the trip is for business development purposes and not billable to the client, AP55 approval is not required.

Submit
13. Does AP55 apply to Subcontractors?

Explanation

The correct answer is Yes - It is the responsibility of the Sponsor of the request to obtain confirmation from the Legal Contracting Team or from the Procurement Team if the policy applies to Accenture’s subcontractor involved in an opportunity. This means that the AP55 policy does apply to subcontractors, but it is the responsibility of the Sponsor to confirm this with the appropriate teams within Accenture.

Submit
14.  When should an AP55 review start? (select all that apply)

Explanation

The AP55 review should start after the project has been approved on the NBM, before signing a contract for work, before submitting a confirmation of candidate for a project to HR, before booking travel, and before starting a project. This ensures that all necessary steps and approvals are taken before initiating the project, including reviewing the project's feasibility, contractual obligations, HR requirements, and travel arrangements.
