Description

Corporate Self-Regulation and Compliance is the first and currently the only university-level course to cover the development and implementation of corporate compliance systems in a range of areas including financial services, environment, health and safety, trade practices and anti-discrimination. The subject takes an interdisciplinary approach to teaching the practice and regulatory policy context of corporate compliance systems. It is suitable for both LLM and management students, and has a strong practical focus on preparing managers and lawyers for the development and implementation of corporate compliance programs in their own workplaces. The subject should also appeal to staff of regulatory agencies with its focus on what makes compliance and self-regulatory systems effective. The course objectives are: (1) To identify legal and regulatory strategies that facilitate, enforce and provide standards for corporate self-regulation and compliance systems; (2) To identify and practise skills in designing and implementing the building blocks of effective compliance systems from a management and a legal perspective; (3) To analyse how the building blocks of compliance systems can interlock and support each other to form robust compliance systems (and how failures of compliance can be failures of system interaction); (4) To learn to when and how to use basic evaluative techniques to review compliance system performance; (5) To develop the skills of the 'reflective practitioner' - the ability to use theory, experience and systems overview to reflect upon action, and continuously implement improvements.
