Anti-Bribery and Corruption - A Pan-European and Global Perspective

The impact of corruption is wide-ranging. It can undermine political, social and economic development and stability, harm respect for the law and effective governance, and enable organised criminal syndicates and terrorists. This training programme provides an interactive experience for employees within financial services and the regulated sector to identify key areas of concern with regard to Anti- Bribery and Corruption within the EU and the wider global community.

This blended learning programme has been designed to combine instructors delivering actual case studies, followed by in depth discussions, and question and answer sessions throughout.

During this course, participants will:

• Create a greater awareness of the necessary Anti-Corruption measures required to minimise the risk to those in the regulated sector

• Attain a greater understanding of the international situation and challenges of Bribery and Corruption

• Understand the need to Strengthen Accountability in FSBs, create a Top-Down Culture against Corruption, and encourage good governance

• Review the EU Regulatory Framework and examine in depth case studies on Corruption

• Be expected to utilise their own awareness, knowledge and investigation experiences. This programme will develop and enhance their ability in analysis, critical thinking and recognition of the current typologies and Red Flags of Corruption and Bribery.

• Raise awareness and a greater understanding of the tentacles of corruption as it exists in business, banking, government, and in civil society, recognise who is involved in corruption: politicians, government officials, public servants, business professionals or members of the public

• Understand where corruption happens; in the shadows, often with the help of professional enablers such as bankers, lawyers, accountants and real estate agents, opaque financial systems and anonymous shell companies that allow corruption schemes to flourish and the corrupt to launder and hide their illicit wealth

• How Corruption adapts to different contexts and changing circumstances. It can evolve in response to changes in rules, legislation and even technology

• Examine case studies and conduct group exercises to reinforce the need for greater due diligence in the key area of Anti Bribery and Corruption.
