From 19 to 20 May 2026, IACA delivered in Riyadh a two-day tailor-made training programme on Corporate Compliance Programmes and Anti-Bribery Systems for the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Nazaha).

The training brought together twenty-two participants and was led by Dr. Martim Della Valle, a renowned expert in the fields of compliance and anti-corruption. The programme primarily focused on compliance programmes, anti-bribery standards, legislation, and enforcement. Over the course of six sessions, participants actively engaged with the lecturer and explored how the acquired skills could be applied to their daily work and professional challenges within their respective institutional contexts.

The training programme covered the origins, main features, and challenges of compliance programmes, as well as global anti-bribery frameworks, including United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, the UK Bribery Act, and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

Participants also learned about public-private cooperation, technology, and future enforcement priorities in the area of compliance. During the group exercise, participants applied risk assessment principles to a mock-up company by identifying potential corruption and compliance risks and presented possible mitigation measures.
