The University is committed to offering a wide range of module options wherever possible, but please note that while every effort will be made to offer a choice, this may be limited in certain circumstances. This is due to the fact that in some modules there are only a limited number of places available, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others require a minimum number of pupils before they are completed in order to ensure adequate quality of teaching. Some modules require students to have already taken certain subjects, and others are essential or required for the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to scheduling conflicts, and although the university strives to minimise selection interruptions, we recommend that you seek advice from the relevant school on the available module choices. This seminar explores the growing reach of corporate compliance across industries and the evolving role of corporate compliance officers as business partners and cultural champions. The study begins with a high-level overview of relevant legal and policy mandates, examines the role of corporate compliance in operational oversight and risk mitigation, and concludes with an examination of the evolving role of corporate compliance in relation to risk, strategy and corporate culture. The first section of the course provides an overview of the legal, regulatory, and risk management considerations that have led companies to develop and improve their internal programs to identify and manage compliance risks. The second section focuses on case studies from different industries and the different perspectives of business leaders, regulators, consumers and employees. The final section of the course focuses on the intersection of compliance and organizational culture and illustrates how policy, training, and leadership engagement tools can be used to create a culture of integrity. The course includes academic, regulatory, and business readings, as well as interactive case studies, where students apply practical solutions to the real-world risks and business integrity challenges faced by multinational organizations in various industries and explore the implications for the compliance function. The students` assessment is based on a 3-part group project on a corporate compliance program`s response to a number of hypothetical aspects. Each student in the group will act as lead moderator once.
Each group task is accompanied by a short additional work (3-5 pages), which must be completed individually by each group member. Participation can be taken into account in the final ranking.

We begin with the basic «anatomy of a contract» and discuss the meaning, use, and effect of various provisions. The seminar addresses not only legal design issues, but also understanding a client`s practical business needs to effectively use the contract as a planning and problem-solving tool. Students draft specific contractual terms and a comprehensive contract, and learn to read, review and analyze contracts with respect to legal and business risk issues. Most exercises simulate working with a fictitious client.
