Associated Persons and Due Diligence
This course provides in-depth information on associated persons and the importance of due diligence in preventing bribery.
Description
It is a financial crime for organisations and the individuals working for them to offer or accept a bribe. A business could be found guilty of bribery and corruption, even if the offence is committed by an associated person. Training your employees to identify instances of bribery as well as avoiding them is key to reinforcing the ethical and legal obligations for businesses while developing a culture of compliance across the business.
This core Take 5 course in the Anti-Bribery and Corruption curriculum will provide deeper information for a better understanding of associated persons and the importance of due diligence in preventing bribery. You will take on the role of an employee who has just been promoted and given responsibility for managing relationships with an external agent and a partner company. You will think through the things you need to check to make sure due diligence has been properly carried out on these associated persons ahead of a team meeting. At the end of the course, you will see how your decisions compare with best practice in this area.
