Have you ever paid someone for doing you a favor? You may be accustomed to tipping wait staff or other service providers, but what if you paid a police officer for NOT issuing a parking ticket? Or if you gave a “gift” to a government official for signing a contract with your company? Tipping might be okay, but paying a bribe is a violation of the law. Bribery is widespread and exists almost everywhere and in many forms. Compliance programs address this and other forms of corruption. In this course we’ll discuss what corruption actually is by examining, for example, the difference between a tip and an illegal bribe. We will examine where corruption exists, how it exists, its ramifications, and the genesis of today’s anti-corruption laws. We’ll also focus on practical strategies for creating compliance policies and procedures that address and prevent corruption. We will learn about the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act, and many other anti-corruption laws. Much of the course will focus on building out compliance policies and procedures that address corruption. We will also look at practical methods for preventing corruption in an organization as well as red flags and other mechanisms for identifying corruption early so that it can be adequately addressed.
It has been a terrific experience and the materials /lecture provided were very much sufficient for learning and understanding the course
Really good overview of corruption, how it works, what are the points every company should think of in their work field.
The Course provided great practical knowledge on how to create and implement an Anti-Corruption policy.
The course content is somewhat dated, but the material remains highly informative and valuable. Overall, it provides useful insights and practical takeaways—I would still recommend it.
An effective beginners course for everyone wanting to know about anti-corruption and bribery, especially FCPA.

Thank you for such an excellent course. It is a knowledge that will serve me a lot in my professional life. Greetings from Honduras
Great course. Ton of information.
In my opinion, the course "What is Corruption: Anti-Corruption and Compliance" is very useful because it provides a clear understanding of the importance of integrity, transparency, and compliance in the world of work and business. The material is delivered systematically and easy to understand, accompanied by real examples that help participants understand how corruption can occur and how to prevent it through effective policies, training, and supervision. This course also raises awareness that corruption prevention is a shared responsibility, so it is very relevant and applicative for students and professionals
This is a good course on the practical side. I specifically found the course format and sequencing easy to follow and understand. The lecture delivers lectures that are rooted in case studies , making the course grounded in what goes on in society around us. The case study format also opened my eyes to the degree to which corruption in corporate and government in US ,despite far and between, remains a nagging problem.
I worked for a local chapter of Transparency International as an intern and wanted to get a certificate to materialize this experience in something which can be shown other than experience on a CV. Thus course filled this role. I'm very happy and proud. The content was very good and the examples were practical. I acquired knoledge and skills which I can use in work as from now.
Very well done. I took this course to help to prepare with the job vacancy for higher position. Even though I have not received any confirmation yet following the interview, but I believe I have understood better the FCPA, UK Bribery Act, my local Anti-corruption Law, and policies applied across the world to fight the corruption and bribery practices. Thank you for making this!
What is Corruption: Anti-Corruption and Compliance explores the meaning, impact, and prevention of corruption in both public and private sectors. It examines corruption not just as bribery, but as a broader abuse of entrusted power for private gain, affecting governance, business integrity, and economic development.
This course is providing the knowledge on compliance sector, as well as providing many lesson learnt from compliance incidents and the how the importance of efficient compliance program. The structure of program is easy to understand, assigmnent is practical and is able to apply into the working environment.
Very interesting course about corruption. Quite interested even how the meaning of the term changes accordingly to the country and cultural background. A note for the university of Pennsylvania: Why not adding a paper of notes to do better the revision in order to prepare the final assessment?
For a person who didn't know anything about Compliance, this course provided all the insights in to it. I now can use this knowledge when I start a business of my own. This is a valuable course and I thank both the trainers and all the backend staff who put this together. Thank you so much.
This course is definitely a must-do. The lecturer, Andrew Kandel is experienced and qualified in his field, material is adequate, a basic knowledge everyone should have regardless of the profession. Would be nice if there's an advanced version of this course. Thank you Coursera!
excellent course, I learned a lot from great examples of behavior and new ways of observing and analyzing an anti-corruption program, in addition to being able to apply what I learned in an innovative way to an efficient compliance program.
Es un curso fácil de seguir que te ayuda a identificar y comprender actividades sospechosas dentro de una compañía de una manera ágil. Además, aprendes cómo luchar contra estos comportamientos dentro de la empresa. Realmente recomendable.
It was a very interesting topic. I learnt a lot. I thought i knew so much but this exposed me to a lot and opened my understanding the more to corruption and its prevention especially as it relates to different countries.
