About the Course

Once you have an understanding of what compliance is, and why it may be important, it is natural to wonder next, “What should I do about it?” In this course, we’ll explore one of the key factors for creating a positive culture of compliance: human psychology. We’ll think about what drives us, what makes us pay attention, what distracts, and how all of these pieces help build a strong belief in an organizational culture of compliance. We will examine formal compliance programs, diving into the nuances of how they are applied in practice. We’ll also explore the technologies, workflows, policies, monitoring, and training necessary to create a toolkit for designing an effective compliance program....

Wonderful information and presented very well. There would be benefit to updating examples and statistics (e.g. cyber threats) to bring it more current, but the fundamentals are all solid.

Yet another excellent course in this specialization. I really like Ms. Steinfield's and Mr. Kandel's delivery of these classes. Very informative and practical advice too!

Very interesting course covering many key areas of compliance programs. Covered key aspects of compliance that you often don't think about such as:

- why people do not comply

- how to build your own compliance structure

I found the examples provided did help my understanding a great deal.

One issue I will highlight is spelling & grammar mistakes throughout the transcripts. Also, one practice quiz stated that you should click two boxes for a correct answer, however the system would fail you if you ticked more than one box.

Course focus was mainly on code of conduct, employees training, monitoring programs, and incident response. Highly recommend week 3, as it delves into the psychology of why people either comply with regulation or violate regulations, and the various theories to explain their behaviors.

Culture, essentials, psychology and dealing with non compliance are covered and were all great building blocks to cover as the second course of four in the specialization. Many of these concepts can be applied to other departments.

Eeffective compliance program is a very good course. I enjoyed studying it and successfully completed it about 8 days ago but I have not yet received my certificate and I was supposed to receive it on the 2nd January 2020.

Please, help me out with the certificate because I want to use it to apply for a job. Thank you for everything.

I loved the course, but leaving our grading to another student is kind of annoying. I don't like the peer-to-peer grading.

The course gives learner a good overview of what a compliance program should include. You will also learn where to start if you're in charged of the role to start the program at your organisation. I especially like the content explaining why people don't comply and what we can do to motivate more compliance.

The course is also beneficial for learners practicing outside the US because as far as I'm concerned, the principles for the compliance program are universal. It is, however, lacking in insights about compliance for subsidiaries and affiliates which usually does not allow much independence for the compliance department.

All in all, it is a good course for both beginner and someone with staff-level experiences in compliance aiming at managerial level. I wish my suggestion would be considered and incorporated into this course, or a new one.

The course provides an excellent overview of effective compliance programs, with a strong focus on practical applications and real-world examples. The peer-to-peer assignments were particularly valuable, allowing us to learn from one another's experiences and perspectives. Overall, I found this course to be informative, engaging, and well-structured. It provided me with a solid foundation for developing and implementing effective compliance programs in various industries. Highly recommended for anyone looking to advance their knowledge in regulatory compliance!

Regarding praise, know that I usually praise when I really like the result: and believe me, these classes were very good. I have been a student of MOOC Coursera for a long time. Whenever I can I evaluate the courses with immense sincerity. You can see the great explanation and the care you took with the explanations and reviews. And that can only mean one thing: you need to improve this course even more, with more content for studies and inclusion of articles and indication of technical books, this is the suggestion.

Hello, thank you for sharing the Compliance program is important because it ensures that a company or organization complies with the applicable laws and regulations in its sector and that it is consistent with the values and ethical principles. In addition, the compliance program helps prevent and detect fraudulent or illegal activities.
