Course Description:
Bribery can often damage your business and your reputation. However, your business is not the only victim. The government and the society are affected more, and they are severely undermined by the weakened rule of law and damaged economic and social development. As such, governments are making anti-corruption programs an integral part of compliance. The OECD and its member countries see the core principle in fighting corruption rooted in the principle of free and fair competition. Each bribe offered or accepted compromises this principle.
This two-day training course is a practical look at corruption and current anti-corruption practices at a level that will provide both a clear definition and broad guidelines as to how this scourge can be fought. The in person seminar will discuss and detail issues and checklists to help make setting up your own anti-corruption program easier.
The seminar instructor will use a combination of prepared tuition, examples, discussions, exercises and case studies. For instance, the prominent Siemens case study that will be discussed will examine the corruption scandal and the steps that Siemens subsequently took to recover from this disaster.
This interactive course will offer participants the opportunity to share experiences and plan work within small working groups, providing practice in the application of the techniques and tools, and generating active participation.

German based Siemens AG is regarded as Europe's largest engineering conglomerate owing to their diverse range of services and products. It employs over 400,000 people worldwide, working in three main business sectors, Healthcare, Energy, and Information Technology. Most recently it has diversified into the Environmental Industry. With Siemens wide scale scope and diverse business activities, it has in recent years, found it difficult to monitor and regulate its corruption levels. In the early 2000s Siemens was at the centre of a very serious corruption scandal, involving cases of non compliance of rules and regulations. This has resulted in top management being investigated and high costs totaling €1.4 billion. Subsequently, Siemens reported that it had not done enough to embed its values, rules and guidelines into company practice. The firm has now made considerable changes to its business to integrate transparency and anti-corruption, with a new anti-corruption program, changes in leadership culture, structure, communication, and new systems of embedding rules and values. Siemens wants to assume a leading role in compliance, integrity and transparency. This case study examines the corruption scandal and the steps that Siemens subsequently took to recover from this disaster. |
