Introduction

This free online training Module 6: “Preventing corruption in project construction” is part of GIACC’s suite of online modules which are designed to increase understanding of corruption in the infrastructure sector, and so help to prevent and detect it.

Corruption, including in particular bribery, fraud, abuse of power, and extortion, can frequently occur in the construction phase of an infrastructure project.

This module examines the controls which should be implemented by public sector and private sector organisations in the construction phase, so as to prevent corruption.  It is far cheaper and preferable to prevent corruption from occurring than to allow it to take place, or to deal with the consequences later.

The content of this workshop is divided into two sections.

• The first section examines the anti-corruption management system which should be implemented by an organisation in relation to all of its activities (i.e. not just the construction phase).  (A more detailed analysis of an anti-corruption management system is provided in Module 10:  “Benefits and Requirements of ISO 37001“).
• The second section examines specific anti-corruption controls which should be implemented by an organisation in relation to the construction phase of the project.  These specific controls form a part of the overall anti-corruption management system referred to in the first section.

This module takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.  On the last page of this module, you can download or print a certificate of completion, with your name and date of completion.  GIACC keeps no record of your identity in undertaking this module, so this certificate is purely for your own or your organisation’s record.
