We have now released a new conflicts of interest compliance course. Conflicts of Interest in the Workplace: Understand Your Influences provides learners with a 15-minute overview of conflicts of interest in the workplace. The interactive course explains what a conflict of interest is and covers different situations where an employee might encounter a conflict of interest.
The course provides guidance and tips for employees in different roles on how to spot conflicts of interest in their day-to-day job. To help deliver the right course to each employee, the course includes a “course builder”, with each version of the course including relevant scenarios for directors, human resources and procurement staff. There is also advice for employees about when situations should be brought to the risk or compliance team in an organisation.
What’s in the course?
The course covers the following topics:
- Definition of conflict of interest
- Why do conflicts of interest matter
- Bribery and corruption
- Financial conflicts of interest
- Non-financial and personal conflicts of interest
- Gifts and hospitality
