Implementing Ethics, Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption Compliance Training Course
Ethics are basic rules that define moral conduct and behaviour in an organisation. In the public sector, ethics are largely responsible for instilling accountability and transparency among professionals. Ethical management in the public sector deals with issues such as bribery, political and/or police corruption, biased or manipulated regulatory and/or legislative practices, conflicts of interest, etc.
While ethical and unethical behaviour can be easily understood theoretically, in practice, the two are not always clearly distinguishable. This, in turn, puts to the test accurate and appropriate decision-making and next steps, for which the primary decision-makers–senior managers and leaders–need to be well equipped to not only identify and understand unethical practices and behaviour but also devise relevant next steps and the future course of action.
With the expansion of the impact of the public sector through the delivery of public services, there is an urgent requirement to maintain ethical standards of behaviour and conduct to ensure smooth functioning and justice to employees and the public. Lack of management or mismanagement of ethics and the value system of an organisation could encourage corruption, the biggest challenge to the overall development of the public sector.

Training Methodology
Regewall Training Institute’s highly customised face-to-face training module includes content delivery and explanation by the trainer, doubt resolution with trainees, group discussions, experience sharing by trainees, case study analyses, etc.
Trainees also discuss practical challenges and/or best practices of their respective organisations, which helps relate the knowledge and information gained through the training to their actual role at the workplace.
