Event Details

This course on Ethics and Professional Conduct underscores the importance of ethical behavior and integrity for compliance professionals and corporate citizens. It highlights the role that these principles play as the foundation for good corporate governance and accountability.


As part of a specialized suite of training, the course is tailored for continuous professional development (CPD). It is intended for:


  • Compliance professionals
  • Designation holders
  • Any professionals with mandatory or personal development obligations related to ethics and professional conduct


By taking this course, participants will be able to stay current with the latest trends and developments in ethical and professional conduct. Additionally, it helps meet the CPD requirements set by their respective organizations or professional bodies. This ensures that professionals remain up to date with best practices, supporting both their career growth and the ethical standards of the organizations they represent.


Core topics covered:

  • Corruption and Fraud: 'The Duty to Prevent…'
  • Speak Up Culture: The Perils of Blind Obedience.
  • Whistleblowing: Just How Faulty is your Policy?
  • Nudging for Compliance: The Willing Compliance Formula.


Key takeaways:

  • You will be directed to the existing, freely available resources that can serve as a blueprint for the action plans that you need to start putting in place to comply with the newly promulgated Section 34a of the Prevention and Combatting of Corruption Act (PRECCA), now.
  • A case-study that will scare the wits out of your most resistant managers, and a recent case report on 'derivative misconduct' that will embolden at least a few of the silent voices in your workforce.
  • By the end of the hour we dedicate to this topic, you will have identified the gaps between your existing whistleblowing policy and one that is a) compliant and b) effective.
  • More nudge, less grudge! You will be inspired to experiment with approaches that increase compliant behaviour and have a lot of fun doing so!
