We aim to en- sure that the tone at the top is proper and proactive in safeguarding organ- izations from the damaging effects of corruption. The Institute’s flagship programs include the Certified Anti- Corruption Manager (CACM), the Certified Anti-Corruption Fellow (CACF), the Certified Anti- Corrup- tion Expert Manager (CACEM), and the Certified Anti-Corruption Entity (CACE), among others.
