Anti-bribery and corruption training programmes
Companies that struggle with anti-bribery and corruption compliance are often struggling with a much more fundamental question: how to embed policies and procedures into the business? This requires effective communication and training programmes which can help deter bribery by employees and can also be deployed to reduce the corruption risks from third party suppliers.Ā

Why is anti-bribery and corruption training necessary?
Regulatory authorities agree that effective communication and training deters bribery. Indeed, many authorities require companies to offer specific anti-corruption training programmes for executives and employees most exposed to corruption risks. The most recent guidance on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) calls for businesses to āfoster a culture of ethics and compliance with the law at all levels of the companyā.Ā
In the EU, companies required to report under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will need to provide details each year of the anti-bribery training implemented across their organisations.Ā
By raising awareness of the risks and consequences of bribery, an organisation can make its expectations of conduct explicit and reinforce its zero-tolerance approach. Effective anti-corruption training for employees on these issues will help ensure that robust procedures to prevent corruption are firmly embedded. This, in turn, can give organisations a strategic advantage by mitigating the risk of corruption, safeguarding reputation, and building trust with stakeholders.Ā
GoodCorporationās comprehensive anti-bribery and corruption training programmes can equip employees and stakeholders with the knowledge and tools to identify and avoid bribery risks, building a culture of integrity within businesses.Ā Ā

For Gulf-based business leadership organisation Pearl Initiative we designed and developed an 8-part webinar series on combating corruption.
