The Hong Kong University School of Professional and Continuing Education (HKU SPACE) will offer the “6th Senior Executive Certificate in Institutional Integrity Management” programme from 14-24 April 2015 in Hong Kong.  Based on the Hong Kong successful model, this 9-days course is developed to train and prepare professional Institutional Integrity Officer. It aims to equip participants with both professional knowledge and skills for strengthening the institutional integrity profile of their organizations (either public or private) and hence enhance their capabilities to safeguard their organizations against corruption and internal fraud.  It consists of three integrated modules: (1) Institutional Framework for Controlling Corruption; (2) Corruption & Fraud Prevention and Education; and, (3) Detection and Investigation of Corrupt Practices and Fraud. This course is also ideal for anti-corruption officials who cannot afford the time to attend the full three weeks intensive Postgraduate Certificate in Corruption Studies programme in Hong Kong, as it would cover most of the key components of that course. This programme is now inviting applications from around the world.

"Only radical improvements across the globe in financial transparency and accountability, and in regulatory capacity and integrity, can break this cycle of political decay and despair".
