Review contracts and agreements for the obligations they create around anti-corruption compliance.
Managing Compliance with Anti-Corruption Standards in the Financial Sector
A concise, decision-focused programme covering anti-corruption compliance end to end.
Course Overview
Models supporting anti-corruption compliance fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. Growth built on poorly controlled the wider financial and banking practice agenda reverses faster than it accumulated. The course covers this part of financial and banking practice at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to anti-corruption compliance in an order their organisation can absorb. What blocks progress on the financial and banking practice discipline is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the wider financial and banking practice agenda is examined from more than one functional angle. Mature organisations treat anti-corruption compliance as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this aspect of financial and banking practice rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the wider financial and banking practice agenda rather than a set of notes.
