Compliance
fundamentals.

“What is compliance?” Every organisation needs its employees to have an answer to this question – at least in the context of their work – and to understand their compliance responsibilities. With Sponge’s basic compliance training programme, you can introduce your colleagues to compliance basics and provide the groundwork for training in areas such as anti-corruption or competition law. The programme can also be used to reinforce understanding of your organisation’s own Code of Conduct, helping employees integrate basic compliance training into their day-to-day practices.

Protect against new risks.
