Anti-Bribery in Practice Training Course (NZ Version)
$27.50 inc. GST
Anti-Bribery in Practice teaches employees how to recognise bribery in its many forms — offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting anything of value to improperly influence a business or government decision — and how to respond when it shows up in everyday work. It covers the situations where bribery risk most commonly arises: gifts and hospitality, facilitation payments, working with agents and other third parties, and dealing with public officials.
Built for New Zealand workplaces, the course translates legal obligations into practical, everyday decision-making, so employees know what to do the moment a grey area appears. Learners receive an instant digital certificate on completion, giving organisations a clear, verifiable record of training completion.
This course will take approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Why Anti-Bribery in Practice Training Important?
Bribery carries serious legal and reputational consequences for individuals and organisations. A single poor decision around a gift, a payment, or a third-party arrangement can trigger investigations, financial penalties, and lasting damage to an organisation’s standing.
Since 2015, New Zealand organisations can be held liable for bribery committed by an employee or agent unless they can show they took reasonable steps to prevent it. This shifts the burden onto organisations to demonstrate they have proper safeguards and training in place.
This course gives employees the practical knowledge to recognise bribery risk before it becomes a problem, directly supporting an organisation’s ability to show it has taken reasonable steps to prevent bribery from occurring.
