Ethics & Anti-Corruption Reporting in the Brazilian Workplace

Corruption and unethical conduct pose serious risks to organisations, employees, and society as a whole. In Brazil, a robust legal framework — including the Clean Company Act (Lei 12.846/2013) and the Anti-Crime Law (Lei 13.964/2019) — places clear obligations on companies and their employees to prevent, detect, and report corrupt conduct. This course has been designed to ensure that every member of staff understands what these laws require, what behaviours are prohibited, and what protections are available when misconduct is reported in good faith.

Through practical scenarios, clear explanations of the law, and guidance on using internal and external reporting channels, you will develop the knowledge and confidence to act with integrity in your day-to-day work. Whether you encounter a potential bribe, a conflict of interest, or a suspicious financial arrangement, this course will help you recognise the issue and take appropriate action without fear of retaliation.

This course is the all-staff module in a two-part Brazil compliance series. It is designed to be accessible to employees at every level of the organisation, regardless of their legal background. Managers and compliance professionals should also complete the companion course, which addresses governance, programme design, and leadership responsibilities in greater depth.
