These workshops are ideal for organisations who would like to train a
range of managers with differing areas of responsibility. Scenarios and
examples can be chosen that highlight different corruption opportunities
and issues in areas such as recruitment, procurement and contract
management, outside employment, conflicts of interest, gifts and
benefits, regulatory roles, asset management, sponsorship and budget
management.
Corruption prevention for managers is offered as either a half-day or full-day depending on the organisation’s needs. In the half day workshop we touch on the major issues, but are able to explore these and develop more detailed understanding in the full day workshop.
While appropriate activity scenarios and case examples will be selected to cater to the specific needs of the participants, we are unable to offer a fully-customised service except in special circumstances.
Full-day
(7.5 hours including a 15–minute morning and afternoon tea and a 30–minute lunch break)
This practical workshop aims to help managers prevent corrupt conduct
in their organisation by developing an understanding of what corruption
is, why people engage in it and the weaknesses in operational
arrangements that can be conducive to corruption. Practical activities,
scenarios and case examples will be used to help managers develop the
skills they need to minimise opportunities for corruption.
