In today’s globalized business environment, corruption remains one of the most pervasive threats to economic growth, corporate integrity, and societal well-being. It distorts fair competition, weakens institutions, and erodes public trust. As organizations strive to navigate these complex challenges, the importance of robust anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) measures has never been more critical. Businesses must now go beyond mere compliance—they must adopt a proactive stance, embedding anti-corruption practices into the very fabric of their operations.

In Malaysia, the fight against corruption is at the forefront of national discourse. With sweeping reforms and the introduction of stringent legal frameworks such as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009 and Section 17A Corporate Liability, businesses face heightened scrutiny. 

This 2-days Anti-Corruption / Anti-Bribery Internal Auditor training aims to empower internal auditors to become catalysts for change within their organizations. It is designed not just to inform, but to inspire actionable strategies for detecting, preventing, and addressing corruption risks. The training will equip participants with an in-depth understanding of corruption's impact, the evolving legal landscape, and the critical role of internal auditors in upholding corporate governance.

Upon completion of the program, participants will be able :

• Have a comprehensive knowledge of Malaysia's corruption landscape, highlighting both private and public sector challenges and the impact on the business environment.
  
• Well-versed in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, Section 17A Corporate Liability, and the Whistleblower Protection Act, enabling them to recognize legal risks and uphold compliance standards.
