Governance and Compliance Training Courses
Corporate governance training courses in Malaysia for boards, managers and compliance teams. Each course teaches one part of governance, ethics or anti-corruption compliance, and your people apply it to their own policies and risks.
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 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.
