Course Description: This will be a dedicated course on corporate compliance and ethics, spanning two days with sessions each lasting 4 hours (8 hours in total). In response to evolving legal standards and business practices, the course moves beyond a traditional law-focused curriculum and transforms into a practice-oriented seminar that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of modern compliance. Developed alongside the growth of the compliance field, the course is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills required to navigate today’s complex compliance landscape. It begins with an introduction to the function and purpose of corporate compliance programs and explores key components of an effective framework, including risk assessment, codes of ethics, training, auditing and monitoring, reporting mechanisms (such as hotlines and helplines), enforcement through discipline and incentives, and oversight by senior leadership and the board. The course’s evolution mirrors the professionalization of corporate compliance as a distinct and vital discipline. Growing interest in this field, reflected in the increasing visibility of compliance programs and professionals in the region, signals its rising importance within Azerbaijan’s business environment. ADA University Executive Education is set to play a critical role in shaping the next generation of compliance professionals and leaders in corporate compliance and ethics.
