The Alliance for Integrity proposes a three-step training programme
that aims to strengthen compliance capacities of companies.
Step 1: Train-the-Trainer Workshop
Step 2: Corruption Prevention Training for SMEs
Step 3: Support Desk
General Aim
The 'De
Empresas para Empresas' training programme of the Alliance for
Integrity seeks to assist companies in developing and implementing
effective corruption prevention systems. Major companies with
established compliance systems become trainers and support small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with little experience in countering
corruption by transferring their knowledge and experiences. The
companies gain practical tools to solve problems related to the
corruption and to increase their competitiveness.
Train-the-Trainer Workshop
The Train-the-Trainer Workshop is the first step of the Alliance for
Integrity's 'De Empresas para Empresas' training programme.
Compliance Officers and personnel responsible for wider business
integrity issues from major companies receive the tools and methods to
become trainers on basic concepts of anti-corruption for small and
medium-sized enterprises.
Procedure
During the first day of the workshop, an international expert will
familiarize the participants with the training material developed by the
Alliance for Integrity. The participants also receive tools and methods
to become trainers such as teaching and communication techniques.
Furthermore, the group of participants will collect practical cases most
relevant to the local context by sharing experiences and knowledge.
On the second day, all participants will take part in the Corruption
Prevention Training for SMEs. During this training they act as observers
while the training is given by the international expert. Trainers can
already test their skills and give parts of the training under the
supervision of the expert.
After successfully completing the two-day workshop, participants can
become affiliated with the Alliance for Integrity as trainers and will
be assigned in groups of trainers to conduct Corruption Prevention
Training sessions for SMEs.
Elements of the Corruption Prevention Training
The training programme addresses the following points:
> Definitions. What is corruption and what types of corruption exist?
> Relevance for the own company. How is my company affected by
corruption? Corruption prevention based on practical examples.
> Risk factors. Presentation of typical risks and handling of them.
> Potential solutions for critical situation and prevention
measures. How do I behave in critical situations? What are essential
components of an ethics and compliance programme? What needs to be
considered when choosing business partners? Which advantages can
collective action bring?
Who can take part?
Participation is open to all experienced Compliance Officers and
personnel responsible for wider business integrity issues of major
companies.
Ideally, participants of the Train-the-Trainer Workshop should have
experience in implementing compliance measures as well as knowledge of
the legal background and an understanding of the local business culture.
We are looking forward to working with you.
