Overview
Organizational leaders face the constant challenge of making ethical choices in difficult times. In two content-rich days, this certificate in Ethics & Compliance will deliver insights into how organizations are responding—and should respond—to today’s ethical challenges. This multi-disciplinary certificate program designed for compliance, legal and financial professionals will strengthen credentials and give an immediate edge while building knowledge for higher levels of responsibility.
Participants will have the opportunity to meet and network with other compliance professionals, SMU faculty, and C-suite executives.

Maguire Center for Ethics and Public Responsibility. This program is pending approval for Texas Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit.
