ETHICAL GOVERNANCE, CORPORATE INTERGRITY AND CURBING CORRUPTION

Corruption is a serious challenge in both developed and developing economies. As Africa grows rapidly as it is now, so do the opportunities for corruption and fraud as many in opportune positions see it as opportunity. Studies show that over 70 % of corruption is committed by senior employees in management and those that have worked for the institution for a long time. Organizations hence have a serious challenge of ensuring institutional integrity considering that those trusted with most responsibility are more likely to engage in corruption.

This training focuses on identifying key interventions that management should consider their effectiveness in dealing with the challenge of corruption. There is no “one harm solves all” solution to corruption hence a lot of factors have to be considered in institutional response to the issue and that is what this course attempts to achieve. We shall look at prevention activities, detection and control framework to deal with corruption.
