NWU Business School’s Unit for Corruption and Integrity Studies

Through its Unit for Corruption and Integrity Studies, the NWU Business School wants to differentiate itself as a respected contributor to the enhancement of our collective prowess to combat corruption and related failures in integrity by means of a distinctive commitment to cultivating business leaders with integrity and exceptional principles of governance and to instil the values of integrity, honesty and ethical conduct in all positions of responsibility.

The overriding focus of the UCIS is to move beyond pointing fingers towards understanding the weaknesses that make entities vulnerable to corruption and to assist with identifying practical sustainable solutions to combat corruption and related improprieties.

We aim to achieve this through targeted leadership development. This is done by means of the enriched content of our MBA programme, our executive education programmes related to the combating of financial crime and Work Integrated Learning Programmes at law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies, amongst others. We also focus on relevant research, the rendering of thought leadership, and the establishment of influential platforms and networks, such as co-hosting the South African Financial Crime Symposium.
