Applied Anti-Bribery, Ethics & Conflict of Interest Training Course in Machakos, Kenya
Classroom training in Machakos · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 1,600
A single improper payment, undeclared family interest or favour to a supplier can trigger investigations, lost funding and lasting reputational damage. Organisations that handle public money, grants, licences or large procurement are especially exposed, and regulators and development partners now expect documented controls rather than good intentions. This five-day programme equips you to build and run those controls.
You work through how bribery, facilitation payments, kickbacks and collusion actually occur, then apply ISO 37001 anti-bribery management system principles, the UK Bribery Act and US FCPA standards that affect international business, and practical codes of conduct. Topics include gifts and hospitality registers, declarations of interest, recusal procedures, third-party and agent due diligence, whistleblowing channels, investigation basics and protection from retaliation. Case studies come from procurement, recruitment, licensing and grant management. The course suits compliance officers, internal auditors, procurement and finance staff, HR professionals, legal advisers, board members and ethics champions in government, NGOs and private firms. It is offered in classroom, online and in-house formats, and you finish with a CPD-accredited certificate and a draft integrity risk register and conflict of interest policy for your own organisation.

About this course
Integrity failures rarely begin with dramatic crimes. They start with a routine gift that is never recorded, a relative who is quietly awarded a contract, or a manager who approves a payment because declining feels awkward. Where oversight is thin, these small lapses accumulate into systemic corruption that drains budgets, discourages honest suppliers and damages trust with citizens, donors and investors.
The Applied Anti-Bribery, Ethics & Conflict of Interest Training Course is designed to move organisations from policy statements to workable practice. Participants begin with the ethical principles and legal concepts behind bribery and conflicts, then learn to assess integrity risk across functions such as procurement, hiring, licensing and finance. The programme goes on to cover designing controls, training staff, vetting third parties, handling reports of wrongdoing and responding when allegations arise.
Instruction mixes short briefings with realistic dilemmas, group problem-solving and document drafting. Participants analyse anonymised scenarios, test their judgement against recognised standards and prepare tools such as a declaration form, a gifts register and a reporting procedure that can be adopted when they return to work.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Distinguish bribery, facilitation payments, extortion, fraud and conflicts of interest in practical terms.
- Conduct an integrity risk assessment across key business processes.
- Draft and implement policies on gifts, hospitality, donations and declarations of interest.
- Apply recusal and mitigation measures when a conflict is identified.
- Carry out proportionate due diligence on agents, suppliers and partners.
- Set up confidential reporting channels and protect those who raise concerns.
- Describe the main elements of ISO 37001 and international anti-bribery laws.
- Plan ethics training and monitoring that keeps standards alive in daily work.
