Planning and Implementation of Anti-Bribery, Ethics & Conflict of Interest Training Course in Lagos, Nigeria
Classroom training in Lagos · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 2,800
One bribe paid by an agent, one undeclared family interest in a tender or one ignored complaint can lead to debarment, donor suspension, criminal exposure and lasting loss of public trust. Organisations that can show a working integrity programme are far better placed to defend themselves and to keep funding. Over five days you learn to build that programme from the ground up, starting with a bribery risk assessment and a clear ethics policy backed by senior management.
Sessions cover ISO 37001 anti-bribery management systems, third-party and agent due diligence, facilitation payments, gifts, hospitality and sponsorship rules, and practical conflict of interest registers with recusal procedures. You also set up confidential reporting lines, investigate complaints fairly, protect whistleblowers and apply proportionate discipline. Training of staff, monitoring and board reporting complete the cycle. The programme suits compliance officers, internal auditors, procurement and finance managers, legal advisers, HR professionals and board members in government agencies, state corporations, NGOs, banks and private companies. It runs in the classroom, online or in-house, and ends with a CPD-accredited certificate. You return able to present a costed integrity plan to your executive team.

About this course
Corruption risk rarely arrives as a dramatic event. It builds quietly through weak approvals, unexamined supplier relationships, informal favours and managers who hold competing interests but never declare them. Regulators, lenders and development partners now expect organisations to prevent this behaviour with documented controls, not simply to react after a scandal. Institutions without those controls pay in fines, lost contracts, audit qualifications and damaged reputation.
The Planning and Implementation of Anti-Bribery, Ethics & Conflict of Interest Training Course walks participants through the full lifecycle of an integrity programme. It begins with risk assessment and the legal and reputational consequences of bribery, then moves to policy design, codes of conduct, decision-making under pressure and the controls that govern gifts, travel, donations and dealings with intermediaries. Participants then build conflict of interest processes, including declarations, registers, management plans and recusal, before turning to reporting channels, investigations, discipline and recovery.
The final sessions deal with rollout: leadership messaging, staff training, monitoring, internal audit testing and board reporting. Learning is practical, using anonymised case files, drafting workshops and role plays so that each participant leaves with documents and procedures ready to adapt in their own organisation.
Training Objectives
By the close of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Conduct a bribery and corruption risk assessment covering processes, locations and third parties.
- Draft an anti-bribery policy and code of conduct that staff can follow in daily decisions.
- Design controls for gifts, hospitality, sponsorships, donations and facilitation payments.
- Establish conflict of interest declarations, registers and recusal procedures.
- Apply due diligence to agents, suppliers, consultants and other intermediaries.
- Set up confidential reporting channels and protect those who raise concerns.
- Plan fair internal investigations and proportionate disciplinary responses.
- Monitor programme performance and report results to management and the board.
