For ESG and sustainability, see the Sustainability, Health & Safety courses. Kognifi assesses the work, so you can see the competence. We run each course in-house for your team or as a public class in Petaling Jaya. Each course is an HRD Corp (HRDF) claimable course for HRD Corp registered employers.

Who these governance courses are for

  • Directors, board members and C-suite leaders who carry legal duties for governance and corruption prevention.
  • Compliance, HR, finance and procurement teams who put the policies into practice.
  • Managers and senior managers who approve spending, contracts or hiring.

These courses are not lectures on the law alone. Each one is a working session on your own policies, risks and cases.

How the courses fit together

Start with the legal duty. Then build the governance system around it.

  • Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption: the legal duty. Section 17A of the MACC Act 2009, corruption risks in the workplace, and corporate and individual responsibility for compliance. One day.
  • Governance and Ethics: the governance system. Ethical leadership and organisational integrity, the board's role, risk management and compliance, the regulatory framework, and how corporate entities are governed.

How each course runs

  • Each participant brings a real case from work: a customer, a product, a team or a proposal.
  • The trainer shows one tool at a time. Then each participant uses the tool on that case.
  • The trainer gives feedback on the work during the class.
  • At the end, the trainer assesses the work against a rubric. You can see what each person can now do.

Participants leave with work that they can use on the next working day.

What your team brings back to work

  • Tools that each participant used in class on their own company's policies and risks.
  • An assessed piece of work for each participant.
  • The Kognifi Certificate of Competency for participants who pass 80% of the assessment.
