Professional Anti-Bribery, Ethics & Conflict of Interest Training Course in Kigali, Rwanda
Classroom training in Kigali · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 1,900
A single improper payment, a gift that was never declared or an undisclosed family link to a supplier can bring prosecution, lost contracts and donor suspension. Five days equip participants to prevent these failures rather than react to them. Sessions work through bribery risk assessment, the elements of ISO 37001 anti-bribery management systems, the principles of the UN Convention against Corruption, gifts and hospitality rules, facilitation payments, and registers for declaring interests. You also practise third-party due diligence, speak-up and whistleblower channels, and the basics of internal investigations.
The programme is designed for compliance officers, internal auditors, procurement and finance staff, legal advisers, HR managers, board members and senior managers in government bodies, NGOs, banks and private firms. It runs in classroom venues across our cities, online, or in-house with your own policies as the working material. Participants receive a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can draft a code of conduct, build a risk register for corruption exposure, review a conflict-of-interest declaration and brief staff with confidence.

About this course
Integrity failures are among the most costly risks an organisation can face. Donors, regulators and business partners now expect documented controls, not just a code of conduct on the website. Where the controls are missing, bribery tends to hide in routine activities such as procurement, licensing, recruitment and the handling of cash.
Professional Anti-Bribery, Ethics & Conflict of Interest Training Course takes participants from principles to working systems. It starts with the ethical and legal foundations and how bribery, fraud, collusion and extortion differ. Participants then conduct a bribery risk assessment, set out the policies and tone from the top that a credible programme needs, and examine how conflicts of interest arise, are declared and are managed. Later sessions cover dealing with agents, consultants and suppliers, training and communication, reporting channels, protection of those who raise concerns and fair, documented investigations.
The training is interactive and built on realistic dilemmas. Participants analyse cases from procurement, grants management and public service delivery, test their own organisation's policies against good practice and finish with a compliance improvement plan they can present to management.
Training Objectives
On completing the course, participants will be able to:
- Distinguish bribery, corruption, fraud, collusion and conflict of interest in practice.
- Carry out a bribery risk assessment of processes, roles and third parties.
- Draft or strengthen anti-bribery, gifts and hospitality, and conflict-of-interest policies.
- Explain the structure and purpose of ISO 37001 and international anti-corruption standards.
- Design declaration and management procedures for conflicts of interest.
- Apply due diligence to agents, suppliers and partners.
- Establish confidential reporting and whistleblower protection arrangements.
- Plan a fair and well-documented internal investigation.
