​
The Anti-Bribery and Corruption Compliance Workshop is a comprehensive training designed for managers to understand and address bribery and corruption within the context of legal, ethical, and cultural frameworks. This workshop explores the legal implications of anti-bribery laws in the EU, Malta, and globally, delving into the challenges of navigating differing cultural norms and ethical standards. Participants will gain insight into the criminal classifications of bribery and corruption, their impact on organisational integrity, and the severe legal consequences of non-compliance.  The workshop also addresses how to implement effective anti-bribery policies, safeguard reputational integrity, and ensure adherence to both local and global laws such as the EU Anti-Corruption Directive and international frameworks like the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.

This module provides an in-depth exploration of bribery and corruption, distinguishing between legal, ethical, and criminal classifications. Participants will learn the definitions under EU, Maltese, and international laws, as well as key concepts such as active vs. passive bribery and facilitation payments. The module also examines how corruption undermines corporate integrity, fosters unfair competition, and damages reputations. Participants will also discover to identify the subtle forms bribery can take and how these are treated legally across jurisdictions.

Legal Frameworks and Global Standards
This module explores the legislative frameworks addressing bribery and corruption, with a focus on EU Anti-Corruption initiatives, Maltese laws (e.g., the Prevention of Corruption Act), and international conventions like the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and the FCPA. Participants will learn about reporting obligations, penalties, and enforcement trends, as well as how these regulations are applied in a globalised business environment. 

Cultural and Ethical Dimensions of Compliance
Participants will examine how cultural norms and workplace ethics influence perceptions of bribery and corruption. The module highlights the challenges of managing compliance in multicultural teams and navigating differing views on acceptable business practices. It provides tools to identify cultural blind spots and strategies for promoting a consistent ethical framework while respecting cultural diversity. Participants will practice addressing ethical dilemmas to build confidence in handling complex compliance issues.

Participants will learn to identify red flags in business transactions, assess third-party risks, and establish internal controls. It also covers the creation and enforcement of anti-bribery policies, whistleblowing mechanisms, and employee training programs.

The final module focuses on the steps to take when bribery or corruption allegations arise. Participants will learn how to implement effective internal investigations, ensure compliance with legal reporting obligations, and collaborate with law enforcement agencies. Emphasis will be placed on maintaining confidentiality, protecting whistleblowers, and preserving evidence. This module also discusses the potential impact on organisations during investigations and provides strategies to minimise operational disruptions while adhering to global standards.
