Learn from the experts with this five-star rated training course

The Conflicts of Interests course from WuDo Solutions is led by experts with experience who have helped organisations like yours on the ground. They therefore know what works and what doesn’t, meaning this course goes much further than simply giving you knowledge of requirements around managing conflicts of interests. It’s how to as much as what, and why.

• You will learn through expert led role-specific conflicts of interests training which explains legal and regulatory requirements, real-life case studies, and how to identify and manage concerns. This creates the knowledge and confidence to spot subtle conflicts, whether cultural, technological, or slow-changing relationships.

• You will develop skills to build a strong conflicts framework with comprehensive procedures for mitigation, escalation and enforcement, such as recusal from decisions, reallocation of duties and timely declaration of new interests. This turns training from a paper exercise into a functioning system that safeguards both your integrity and your organisation’s reputation.

Throughout the learning there are quizzes, case studies and Q&A sessions where people are encouraged to test what they are being taught against their own experience and systems. Unlike any other provider we also offer six-month’s post course support, completely free, to help ensure peoples new skills are successfully applied in the real world.

Module 1: Understanding Interests

What are interests? This first module explains what interests are and the different type of interests that exist

Module 2: Understanding Conflicts of Interests

In this module we explore how interests can cause conflicts and what kind of conflicts can arise. We discuss how the perception of any conflicts of interests matters and explore both actual and potential conflicts

Module 3: Fraud and Bribery

We consider fraud and bribery and how they relate to conflicts of interests. The module explores how you can use your conflicts of interests systems to effectively prevent fraud and bribery and explore how these systems will help your organisation comply with its statutory duty to prevent both.

Module 4: Gifts, Sponsorship and Hospitality

Gifts, sponsorship and hospitality can be problematic for organisations so this module explores what they are and how to manage them in the context of conflicts of interests.

Module 5: Declaring Interests

Module 5 teaches you when and how to get people to declare any interests they have. It also covers how to manage these declarations in a GDPR compliant way.

Module 6: Making Decisions

Once interests are declared what do you do? This module covers next steps, from decision making to communication and implementation.

Module 7: Action Planning

The final stage is implementation. This module explores what you will do to apply your learning once the course ends with a focus on best practice and key performance indicators for successful delivery.
