This course explores the legal frameworks and ethical principles governing conflicts of interest in various sectors. We examine key regulations, disclosure requirements, and consequences of unethical conduct as well as why people don't behave ethically and how to mitigate those risks.
Participants learn to identify potential conflicts, navigate ethical dilemmas, and implement mitigation strategies to uphold transparency and integrity. Case studies are used to demonstrate compliance obligations and best practices. By fostering accountability and ethical decision-making, the course equips professionals to navigate complex situations with integrity and compliance.

In The Honest Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone—Especially Ourselves, Dan Ariely explores the psychological and environmental factors that drive people to behave dishonestly. Drawing on experiments and real-world examples, Ariely challenges conventional notions that dishonesty stems from a cost-benefit analysis of potential gain versus risk. Instead, he demonstrates that dishonesty is a complex, often subconscious process shaped by human psychology and situational influences.
In Blind Spots: Why We Fail to Do What's Right and What to Do About It, Max H. Bazerman and Ann E. Tenbrunsel delve into the psychological and social mechanisms that cause individuals and organisations to act unethically despite their intentions to uphold moral standards. The book explores the gap between who people think they are and how they actually behave, focusing on the concept of "bounded ethicality"—the idea that our ability to act ethically is limited by cognitive biases and situational pressures.
In Ethics and Risk Management, Lina Svedin examines the intersection of ethical considerations and risk management practices in organisations, particularly in the public sector. Svedin emphasises that effective risk management is not merely about minimising harm or avoiding liability but about incorporating ethical values into decision-making processes to balance competing interests and priorities. The book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how ethical principles can guide organisations in navigating complex risks while maintaining trust and accountability.
