Managing Corporate Leniency & Internal Compliance in Brazil

This course forms the second part of a two-course set tailored for organisations operating within Brazil's regulatory environment. Building on foundational whistleblowing awareness, this programme equips managers and compliance professionals with the practical and legal knowledge required to navigate Brazil's sophisticated corporate integrity framework, including the negotiation of leniency agreements, the management of internal investigations, and the design of robust compliance programmes that satisfy regulatory expectations.

Participants will develop a thorough understanding of the Clean Company Act (Lei 12.846/2013) and its administrative and civil liability provisions for legal entities involved in corrupt acts against domestic and foreign public administration. The course also addresses the Anti-Crime Law (Lei 13.964/2019), which introduced Brazil's formal bounty system (acordo de não persecução penal and related instruments), expanding the incentives and protections available to individuals who cooperate with authorities in the exposure of wrongdoing.

Through structured lessons covering regulatory bodies, internal reporting mechanisms, leniency negotiation strategy, and the intersection of individual and corporate cooperation regimes, this course prepares compliance teams to lead their organisations toward sustainable ethical conduct and meaningful regulatory engagement. All content reflects the legal framework as established by Brazilian federal legislation and enforced by the Controladoria-Geral da União (CGU), the Ministério Público Federal (MPF), and sector-specific regulators.
