Five percent. That is roughly how much of its annual revenue the average organization loses to internal fraud alone, according to ongoing corruption studies. Combating that loss is not just a finance department problem, it falls on any manager with a real role in confronting fraud and corruption, whether they work in the private sector, the public sector, or a non-profit.

Those managers carry the responsibility of making sure every resource entrusted to them is handled properly. Doing that well requires solid awareness of anti-corruption principles alongside a practical grip on ethical behavior, which is exactly the ground this course covers.
