Students of the Master in Anti-Corruption Studies (MACS) and International Master in Anti-Corruption Compliance and Collective Action (IMACC) of the 2023 cohort have finalised the live session phase of their fifth Module. The modules delve into the topics of “Anti-Corruption Compliance and Corporate Internal Investigation” (MACS) and “Corporate Internal Investigation” (IMACC).

The classes are being taught by several renowned experts in the field, such as Lloydette Bai-Marrow, Fernando Cevallos, Martim Della Valle, Giovanni Falcetta, Eduard Ivanov and Milda Zilinskaite.

In previous modules, students explored various behavioral, legal, criminological, and human rights approaches to combating corruption. They have now gained a solid understanding of the legal and institutional frameworks necessary to advance their studies, with a focus on applying practical anti-corruption tools and strategies.

The MACS students embarked on courses relating to corruption in business enterprises, value-based compliance, a compliance lab in developing a code of conduct, internal investigations, crisis management, open-source investigation, auditing under ISO 37301 and 37001, as well as anti-corruption compliance standards.

The IMACC students learned about corporate and individual liability, internal investigations, crisis management, open-source investigation, and value-based compliance. They also learned how to develop a code of conduct, participated in an investigation lab, and completed the second part of their course on auditing under ISO 37001 and ISO 37301 standards.

After this live session phase, the students will work on their assignments in the post-study phase, which will end on 10 November 2024.
