The Master’s program, founded by Paola Severino and jointly organized by the Luiss School of Law and the Luiss School of Government under the patronage of the National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC), offers an innovative course dedicated to training professionals and experts in the field of anti-corruption in the public and private sectors. 

The master’s program is structured into thematic modules that combine study with practical experience, following a multidisciplinary and integrated approach. Given the subject’s specific nature, the course combines lectures—with a particular focus on the regulatory framework, including from a supranational and comparative perspective, as well as on anti-corruption guidelines, standards, and best practices in the public and private sectors, and on the latest trends and evolving perspectives—with the analysis of significant case studies and participation in a workshop on drafting organizational models (pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001) and anti-corruption plans (Italian Law No. 190/2012). 

The course aims to equip participants with the essential legal and managerial skills needed to work in private and public companies, corporate law firms, consulting firms, institutions, and associations. It focuses on providing specialized knowledge of the rules for proper corporate governance and the prevention of corruption and illicit activities. 

The course curriculum includes the following modules: 

• The evolution and prospects of anti-corruption law in the supranational dimension 
• Managing corruption risk in public administration 
• Regulation of public contracts, collaborative oversight, and corruption prevention 
• Cooperative Compliance, corporate remediation tools, and anti-mafia disqualifications. The intersections between anti-mafia and anti-corruption legislation 
• The criminal justice strategy to combat corruption 
• Elements of corporate organization: the general architecture of internal controls; the legal and compliance functions; auditing; the anti-corruption compliance officer 
• Criminal liability of collective entities, organizational models, and corruption prevention.
