Course Overview

Improving transparency in business transactions and organisational processes have a direct impact of reducing the chances or opportunities of corruption taking place in the organisation. Transparency is extremely important to build brand credibility and trust among current and future employees.

With corruption and fraud becoming rampant these days, having a grave impact on economic growth and overall development, organisations are taking more stringent measures to ensure that there are provisions and guidelines in place to facilitate transparency among and by all concerned stakeholders and that there is a constant check on corruption or nascent signs of corruption.

Thus, at a national level too, there are various laws and jurisdictions committed to increasing transparency, reducing or eliminating chances of corruption and sustaining a healthy global corruption rating.

The Freedom of Information Act is one such critical legislation that guides and facilitates transparency by providing citizens and employees the right to information about government spending and other nationwide data as well as professional information concerning their career growth and development, respectively.

However, transparency needs to be well managed to prevent its misuse to the benefit of a few and the disadvantage of the rest of the population. There needs to be a fine balance between maintaining transparency and not revealing sensitive and critical information that could be detrimental to the progress of an organisation or nation.

To best understand transparency, in its simplest form, it can be described as the visibility into the functions/processes of an organisation; however, it does not grant one the right to access intellectual property of an organisation. For organisations, transparency is important to build trust among employees, stakeholders and clients, and thus, organisations are now institutionalising transparency in their policies and setting out guidelines around this to ensure that it is adopted and followed universally.

There are various institutions that publish several indices and metrics of corruption, one such measure being the Corruption Perception Index. The Corruption Perception Index ranks countries by their perceived level of corruption determined through expert assessments and opinion surveys. These indices, directly and indirectly, influence the growth and progress of a nation.

This Zoe training course will empower you with a complete understanding of the importance of transparency and various ways to ensure implementation of guidelines related to transparency and improvement in transparency throughout. It will also provide you with the necessary information and knowledge about global corruption rating indices.

This Government and Organizational Transparency in Information, Communication and Business Course will prepare you to undertake higher roles and responsibilities and play an important part in ensuring transparency and preventing corruption. The confidence gained through this course will help you strongly address and eliminate corruption before it escalates to levels gravely impacting citizens/employees and national/organisational growth and development.
