Managing Compliance & Anti-Bribery Protocols for Colombia

This course forms the second in a two-part series for organisations operating in Colombia and is specifically tailored to the needs of managers and compliance professionals. Drawing on Colombia's principal anti-corruption and anti-bribery legislation — including the Anti-Corruption Statute (Law 1474 of 2011) and the Transnational Bribery provisions — the course equips participants with the technical knowledge and practical tools required to design, implement, and oversee robust compliance frameworks that meet regulatory expectations and protect organisational integrity.

Participants will gain a thorough understanding of Colombia's key regulatory bodies, including the Superintendencia de Sociedades and the Fiscalía General de la Nación, and will examine the legal obligations that apply to both public and private sector entities. The course covers whistleblowing mechanisms, internal reporting channels, due diligence requirements for third parties, and the management of compliance risk across the organisation's operations, including cross-border transactions and interactions with foreign public officials.

Through structured lessons and scenario-based content, managers and compliance teams will develop the capability to identify red flags, respond to potential violations, support whistleblowers effectively, and demonstrate compliance to regulators. On completing this course, participants will be well-positioned to lead a culture of integrity and ensure their organisation meets its legal and ethical obligations under Colombian law.
