Course Description
“The man of integrity walks securely,
but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.”Proverbs 10:9
The 2007-08 global financial crisis has demonstrated that the lack of business ethics in business institutions, in particular financial institutions, coupled with inadequate governmental regulatory control can have catastrophic consequences on the worldwide economy, affecting nearly every citizen on the planet. All the developed economies are seeing their public and private sectors’ institutional integrity questioned and undermined, especially with a profound severing of public trust between society and the financial sector.
There has been a growing global paradigm shift from the previously overwhelming support for the invisible hand of free markets towards the social and political support for the firmer fist of governments and regulations (Ghemawat[1], 2010). Maintaining a high level of institutional integrity represents the key to prevent corruption and internal fraud within any organizations and it has been arguably the most important strategic driver that business organizations have to rethink in their corporate strategies in response to the already changed economic landscape.
The concept of Institutional Integrity Management, which will lead to future development of Certified Institutional Integrity Officer (CIIO)[2], is developed to enable every organization (either public or private) to assess and diagnose its own corruption and integrity profile in order that it can strengthen institutional safeguards against corruption and internal fraud. In confronting this new path to regulation in the global business environment, it has been envisaged that there should be a statutory requirement for every government department and ministry, every financial institution and every public listed company to have a CIIO in the institution who can help organizations ensure orders within their own houses so as to discharge their business and corporate social responsibility in an acceptable ethical standard.

[2] A CIIO Scheme is formulated to (1) set up the CIIO Governing Board; (2) define the role of CIIO in an organization; (3) registrate and de-registrate CIIOs; (4) standardize the content of CIIO Training courses; and (5) approve educational institutions for conducting CIIO Training courses etc.
