Corruption has a significant negative impact on society, undermining trust in institutions and contributing to social inequality. Internal auditors play an important role in detecting and preventing corrupt practices by ensuring transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements. Particular attention is paid to the activities of whistleblowers, who help to identify corruption schemes and promote a culture of integrity and openness. Protecting whistleblowers is a key element of a successful anti-corruption system, as they often face the risk of reprisals and harassment.
This course is an important step for those who aspire to become a highly qualified auditor and make a significant contribution to improving the company’s anti-corruption management system.
