Background
Ethics and transparency are fundamental components in the design of a solid compliance structure for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing of legal entities. With the increase in practices such as bribery and corruption in the corporate sphere, the understanding and application of international standards of administrative ethics and ethical leadership as part of crime prevention becomes relevant. The recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) emphasize the importance of transparency "to prevent the misuse of legal entities for money laundering or terrorist financing."1
With this in mind, the course has been designed for participants to gain an expanded understanding of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), its management within organizations, the practical usefulness of administrative management focused on ethical principles, and the role that the compliance officer has as a key piece in the construction of a culture of ethics and transparency as part of his or her role.
This course is implemented by the UIAF Financial Intelligence Unit, in partnership with the University of Antioquia as an allied entity.
Learning Objectives
The course aims to strengthen the competence of compliance officers to incorporate international principles, concepts and standards in ethics, transparency and corporate social responsibility, and practical aspects of how the compliance function contributes to developing this culture of ethics within the organization for the prevention of the crime of money laundering and terrorist financing.
At the end of the course, the participant will be able to:
· Understand the concept of ethics applied to the corporate environment and how these concepts can be adopted by the compliance officer.
· Apply the concepts of anti-bribery and anti-corruption to prevent, detect and address scenarios in which these phenomena may occur in work environments.
· Understand corporate social responsibility and its application to improve the organization's business ethics, transparency, and social sustainability.

The instructional method is 100 percent virtual and asynchronous, with no tutoring. However, to facilitate teaching and learning, the diploma focuses on the casuistic and micro-learning method, which presents the student with examples and exercises to apply the contents at the end of each topic. These exercises position you in real application scenarios, focused on the required competencies (critical analysis, problem solving, leadership, communication, etc.). Additionally, the student will have tutorial videos that bring them closer to the tutorial-guided learning experience.
