Introduction

This free online training Module 9: “Project contractual structure, rights and obligations” 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, cartels and extortion, can frequently occur in the procurement and construction of an infrastructure project.  This corruption is often facilitated or concealed by the project contractual structure, rights and obligations. Therefore, from a prevention, investigation and enforcement perspective, it is important to understand how these structures, rights and obligations work.

This Module examines the most common types of contractual structure, rights and obligations which are relevant to infrastructure projects.  It is noted that construction contracts can be complex, and contract documents vary significantly between countries and projects, so this module examines general common principles rather than one specific type of contract.  It is important that you understand the actual contract on your project.

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.
