Program Overview: What is Sapin II Anti-Corruption Compliance (France) Corporate Training?
Sapin II Anti-Corruption Compliance (France) is Edstellar's instructor-led program for legal, compliance, and audit teams operating under French anti-corruption law. Participants master the Sapin II law, the AFA's expectations, corruption risk mapping, third-party due diligence, accounting controls, and whistleblowing frameworks.
The program runs on practical case work, not lectures. Your team maps corruption risk across realistic deal scenarios, runs due diligence on third parties, pressure-tests codes of conduct and reporting channels, and practices monitoring and remediation with instructor guidance at every step. Feedback is direct and tied to what AFA inspectors actually look for. The capstone is an AFA audit simulation: participants defend their program against a mock inspection.
Corruption risk follows every deal that touches intermediaries, public officials, or foreign books. A policy nobody reads and a risk map nobody updates are an open invitation to enforcement. This program teaches teams to build controls that work in practice: mapped risks, documented diligence, accounting discipline, and channels people actually trust.
The capstone stages a full AFA audit simulation: participants present their compliance program, answer inspectors' questions, and remediate the gaps the simulation exposes. Your team returns knowing exactly how its controls would fare under the real French anti-corruption agency, before the real one calls.
Employees Enhance compliance Capability through risk mapping, due diligence, and whistleblowing practice daily. Collaboration aligns legal and finance on one standard, and Performance is proven at the capstone.

Sapin II Anti-Corruption Compliance (France) Course Topics and Program Outline
This six-module, 24-hour program is a tailored Workshop built around hands-on practice. Each Session moves from foundation concepts to application: real-world use cases become guided practice, and the Learning Path closes with an Assessment in the capstone.
Built by Edstellar with French anti-corruption compliance specialists
Built by practitioners who run Sapin II compliance programs in practice, shaped around your stack and use cases.
We profile your team's French anti-corruption exposure, then align sessions and guided exercises to your highest-risk touchpoints.
Teams study the Sapin II obligations, the eight mandatory measures, and AFA enforcement practice that shape a defensible program.
Guided sessions drill risk mapping, third-party due diligence, and control testing on scenarios drawn from AFA enforcement practice.
The capstone simulates an AFA-readiness audit, producing findings and remediation plans the team can take straight into work.
Built for 24 hours of guided practice: every concept is drilled in guided sessions and a full capstone audit simulation.

Develop Sapin II Controls Through Risk Mapping and Evidence-Based Review
Edstellar connects anti-corruption program design with practical evidence and control decisions. Participants map corruption risks, examine third-party diligence and accounting controls, and consider reporting and remediation arrangements. A simulated AFA-focused review tests whether findings, risk ratings, and proposed actions are traceable, proportionate, and clearly explained.
- Step 01
Consult
We examine anti-corruption responsibilities, third-party approval challenges, and audit-evidence gaps to identify priorities in risk mapping, control testing, and reporting arrangements.
- Step 02
Plan
Legal scope and AFA context lead into corruption risks, diligence, accounting controls, conduct guidance, and monitoring before a simulated program audit.
- Step 03
Align
Anti-corruption governance and assurance expertise supports legal, compliance, audit, and managerial roles, emphasizing their differing responsibilities for approvals, reports, and control review.
- Step 04
Customize
Fictional business units, third parties, and program records provide realistic risk and evidence cases without exposing allegations, reporter identities, or confidential investigations.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants justify risk ratings, examine due-diligence records, and conduct control walkthroughs, receiving feedback on evidence quality, findings, and proportionate remediation choices.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We review the audit memo for supported conclusions, traceable risk-control links, appropriate treatment of reporting arrangements, and clear ownership of identified remediation needs.
