Anti-Corruption and Compliance

About this Course

Have you ever paid someone for doing you a favor?

You may be accustomed to tipping wait staff or other service providers, but what if you
paid a police officer for NOT issuing a parking ticket? Or if you gave a “gift” to a
government official for signing a contract with your company? Tipping might be okay, but
paying a bribe is a violation of the law. Bribery is widespread and exists almost
everywhere and in many forms. Compliance programs address this and other forms of
corruption.

In this course we’ll discuss what corruption actually is by examining, for example, the
difference between a tip and an illegal bribe. We will examine where corruption exists,
how it exists, its ramifications, and the genesis of today’s anti-corruption laws. We’ll also
focus on practical strategies for creating compliance policies and procedures that
address and prevent corruption.

We will learn about the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act, and many
other anti-corruption laws. Much of the course will focus on building out compliance
policies and procedures that address corruption. We will also look at practical methods
for preventing corruption in an organization as well as red flags and other mechanisms
for identifying corruption early so that it can be adequately addressed.
