Course Description

In this Anti-Corruption, Bribery, and Anti-Kickback Compliance (FCPA) course, you’ll understand how corruption, bribery, and kickback schemes arise in public-sector roles and how the FCPA applies to prevent them. We’ll also examine procurement integrity standards and whistleblower reporting obligations. Because public institutions manage taxpayer resources and rely on public trust, recognizing and addressing misconduct is essential to lawful operations. To build that foundation, we’ll move from defining misconduct risks to applying enforcement standards and compliance controls in real-world public-sector scenarios.

We’ll explore anti-corruption and FCPA compliance requirements, presenting procurement examples and cross-border risk controls. You’ll develop the ability to recognize red flags and strengthen oversight across the contract lifecycle. We’ll also address gift restrictions; conflict disclosures; and enforcement processes to give you a complete understanding of anti-corruption compliance in public service. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to identify corruption risks, apply anti-bribery safeguards, and respond appropriately to violations.
