48 BlackBerry Code of Business Standards and Principles
Expense Claims Must Be Valid
BlackBerry requires that you submit only claims
for reasonable expense costs, directly related to
company business, and supported by appropriate
documentation. Your claim must record the
business purpose, full names and titles of
everyone who participated, and comply with
other submission requirements.
Adhere to the Management Approval Process (MAP)
To illustrate exactly what approvals are needed for
various activities and expenditure levels, BlackBerry
has compiled a list of mandatory guidelines known
as the Management Approval Process (MAP)
defining the approvals necessary for all transactions
at BlackBerry globally. You must adhere to MAP
requirements, which are consistent with how
BlackBerry has delegated authority to its managers.
Q: The procedures for commitments
require that I obtain “all appropriate
approvals in advance.” What are
appropriate approvals?
A: This depends on the type of commitment.
Here are approval procedures for some
common ones:
• Sales deals
• Purchase Orders
• NDA form contract
If you are unsure or have questions please
contact Business Support, Sourcing &
Procurement or the Integrity &
Compliance Oce.
Q: An enterprise partner asked me to
verbally agree over a handshake that
BlackBerry will sponsor its annual
conference, in exchange for a purchase
order for a large number of BlackBerry
devices. May I make this agreement?
A: No, this is a prohibited verbal side deal.
BlackBerry may want to support the annual
conference and our customer may want to
purchase devices, but any related agreements
need full business review and approval,
and proper Legal Department-approved
documentation. Be explicit in discussions
with partners about when you are socializing
a proposed deal and when you are extending
an oer capable of acceptance.
