b) the seriousness of the offence,
c) whether the enterprise could by guidelines, instruction, training, control or other measures have prevented the offence,
d) whether the offence has been committed in order to promote the interests of the enterprise,
e) whether the enterprise has had or could have obtained any advantage by the offence,
f) the enterprise's economic capacity,
