Bribery and corruption damages lives, reputations, and businesses. Yet in many countries, bribery is a regular--even accepted--business practice. The direct victims of bribery include businesses that lose out unfairly because of corrupt practices, and on a wider scale, governments and society as a whole.
This course takes an in-depth look at the causes of bribery and corruption, how to recognize red flags, and what companies should consider and include in their compliance programs to ensure that their international partners, agents, consultants, and subsidiaries comply with the rule of law.
This course covers:
- Keys to recognizing, understanding and dealing with corruption.
- The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and how to ensure compliance.
- How other countries fight corruption, including the U.K’s Anti-Bribery Act and the OECD’s ‘Anti-Bribery” Convention.
Prerequisites
Prerequisite: Exposure to regulatory compliance
Advanced Preparation: None
Learning Objective
- Identify what corruption is and how to recognize it.
- Recognize red flags and other warning signs pointing to corrupt practices.
- Identify steps that you can take to better foresee your global corruption risks.
- Articulate the need for ongoing risk assessments and review.
- Identify why third-party due diligence can make or break your program.

This was a very interesting and relevant course. Internal Audit funcitons often face navigating the pull from management to engage in fraud investigations and that must be balanced with other Internal Audit activities, with the support of the Audit Committee.
It is a great course. However, needs to be updated as the statistics in Report to the Nations can vary at times.
Helpful starting point for understanding welfare plans.
It's hard to distill the entire history of ethical thought down into a 2 hour business course, but I give credit to the instructor for making the effort.
Terrible quiz questions....wrong tenses and unprofessional grammar (E.g. "little white lies" and "cut it"). Also, thanks for the interesting but totally irrelevant adrenal system questions.
Good overview of 2023 fraud trends and beyond, how account takeover happens, including the detection and prevention strategies for account takeover.
Course was very informative. Instructor was very clear
"Corecard" is listed as an answer option rather than "Scorecard." The typo can be confusing.

This was a very confusing one. I finally passed when I answered one question which seemed again what the material and I understood. It was question six. I disagree that it should be answer A. A going concern is considered when a company has issues about going a year from the opinion letter date.
