"Yes, I have been offered a bribe previously. Earlier in my career, I was performing a financial audit on a client. I was offered a cash incentive in exchange for a positive grade. I, of course, did not take the bribe and I reported the situation to my supervisor."

In a recent assignment, I discovered that the payroll accountant and the finance manager were committing fraud through collusion. They were paying ghost employees. When I raised the issue with the finance manager, he promised to give me money if I did not report the issue. I did not take the bribe but reported it to my supervisor.
