Internship – a four-part course series

Every organization faces a variety of risks that can threaten its operations, reputation, and profits. An effective and robust compliance program can make the difference between companies that successfully manage these risks and those that become after-the-fact warnings.

In this specialization, you will learn the essential foundations of effective organizational compliance by exploring the concepts, considerations, and strategies for assessing risk and managing the compliance function. You will learn the fundamental principles of effective compliance, the components of an effective compliance program, and their impact, and then take a closer look at two key areas of compliance in today’s business landscape:

  • Privacy Compliance
  • Combating corruption

The insights from this program will be relevant to a wide range of types of organizations, from private companies to nonprofits.
