Workplace Crime Prevention & Safe Reporting in Chile

Workplace crime — including bribery, fraud, money laundering and other economic offences — poses serious legal, financial and reputational risks to organisations operating in Chile. In recent years, Chile has significantly strengthened its criminal compliance framework, most notably through the introduction of Law 21.595 (the Economic Crimes Law) in 2023 and the long-standing corporate criminal liability regime established by Law 20.393. Every member of staff has a role to play in recognising misconduct, upholding ethical standards and using the reporting mechanisms available to them.

This course — the all-staff module in a two-course Chilean compliance series — explains the key legal obligations that apply to your organisation and to you personally. It covers the types of workplace conduct that constitute criminal offences under Chilean law, the principles and structure of your organisation's compliance programme, and the practical steps you can take to report a concern safely, without fear of retaliation. Clear, plain-language explanations are paired with realistic workplace scenarios to bring the law to life.

On completing this course you will understand why compliance matters, what behaviours are prohibited, who oversees enforcement in Chile, and exactly how to raise a concern through internal or external channels. Whether you are new to compliance training or refreshing your knowledge, this course gives you the confidence and the tools to act with integrity every day.
