Live Online Executive Anti-Bribery, Ethics & Conflict of Interest Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
One bribery scandal can cost an organisation its licences, funding, contracts and reputation, and senior leaders carry personal accountability for what happens on their watch. Five days prepare executives and board members to turn integrity from a policy document into a working system. You study how bribery, facilitation payments, kickbacks and undeclared conflicts actually arise in procurement, hiring, licensing, grants and sales.
The programme covers bribery risk assessment, due diligence on agents and suppliers, gifts, hospitality and donation controls, conflict of interest registers, whistleblowing channels and the handling of investigations. You work with ISO 37001 anti-bribery management system concepts, international instruments such as the UN Convention against Corruption and the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, and practical ethics decision models. Senior case discussions address pressure from politically exposed persons, third-party intermediaries and demands to meet targets at any cost. It is designed for chief executives, directors, board and audit committee members, heads of compliance, legal and internal audit, procurement and HR leaders in public bodies, companies, NGOs and financial institutions. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house with a CPD-accredited certificate. You leave with a leadership action plan and a clear view of where your organisation is exposed.

About this course
Governments, lenders, donors and business partners now treat bribery and unmanaged conflicts of interest as board-level risks. Enforcement across borders is growing, and organisations that cannot show a functioning anti-bribery system find it harder to win contracts, attract funding and defend themselves when something goes wrong. Yet most failures are not caused by weak rules; they come from leaders who tolerate shortcuts, ignore warning signs or fail to separate personal interests from institutional decisions.
The Executive Anti-Bribery, Ethics & Conflict of Interest Training Course is written for those who must set direction and answer for results. It begins with the nature of corruption and the legal and reputational exposure of directors and executives. Participants then examine risk assessment methods, controls around third parties, gifts and hospitality, donations and sponsorships, recruitment, procurement and cash handling, and the structure of a conflict of interest policy with declaration and recusal procedures. Later sessions explain how to design reporting channels that employees trust, protect whistleblowers, commission credible investigations and discipline fairly.
The programme is discussion-led and built for experienced decision-makers. Real-style dilemmas, boardroom simulations and a diagnostic review of participants' own organisations replace long lectures, and each person finishes with a practical integrity plan for the first ninety days back in role.
Training Objectives
By the close of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Explain the legal, financial and reputational exposure of executives and directors for bribery.
- Carry out a bribery and conflict of interest risk assessment for their organisation.

- Operate a conflict of interest policy with declarations, registers and recusal rules.
- Establish a speak-up channel with safeguards against retaliation.
