Now that you've gathered information and analyzed the legal and ethical consequences of Manning's actions as outlined in the Global Shippers, Inc., you're expected to discuss your conclusions and rationales with the board of confidential advisors convened by Vice President Dodger. Two main requirements will structure this discussion:

First, each board member is to post an initial response fully analyzing the following questions:

Were Manning's actions legal under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and what are the possible penalties for violating the act?

Were Manning's actions legal under the UK Bribery Act and what are the possible penalties for violating the act?

Were Manning's actions ethical, particularly in light of differing cultural norms?
