Integrity & Anti-Corruption Awareness

Building an Ethical and Transparent Organisation

A practical awareness programme that builds a shared understanding of integrity and anti-corruption across your workforce. Staff learn what corruption looks like, their responsibilities under the MACC Act (including Section 17A corporate liability), how whistleblowing works, and how to make the right call - reinforced with real Malaysian case studies.

The programme is built around section 17A of the MACC Act, under which a commercial organisation is liable for corruption committed by an associated person unless it can show adequate procedures were in place. Participants work through what constitutes an offence under the MACC Act, including gratification in forms other than cash, facilitation payments, and the liability that attaches to directors and management personally. Practical scenarios cover gifts and hospitality, sponsorship and donations, third-party intermediaries and agents, and conflicts of interest that arise gradually rather than obviously. The session sets out what adequate procedures means in practice under the TRUST principles, and where an individual employee's obligation to report begins.

Anti-bribery and anti-corruption awareness does not have to be delivered in a classroom. This module also runs on our LMS and e-learning platform, where staff complete it online at their own pace on any device, sit a knowledge assessment, and receive a verifiable certificate on completion. HR receives completion and score reports broken down by department, which is the evidence you need when demonstrating adequate procedures under Section 17A. Available in English and Bahasa Malaysia.
