Course outline

Modules you can expect

Structure may tighten when you localise from your own source pack in Kre8AI — this is the shape of the library title.

  1. 1
    Culture is not a poster

    What King IV is asking organisations to demonstrate.

  2. 2
    Your code of ethics

    Rules that already apply at your desk.

  3. 3
    Grey areas

    Conflicts, gifts and “everyone does it”.

  4. 4
    Speak up

    Channels that actually exist.

  5. 5
    Knowledge check

    Scored assessment for ethics evidence.

Scored assessment for staff. Not a governing-body programme. Do not paste King IV report text into the course.

About this course

Written for the workplace, not for the statute book alone

King IV is often treated as a directors’ document. Staff still create the culture the report describes. This course translates ethical culture, good performance and legitimacy into workplace habits — using your code of ethics as the source of rules, and public King IV descriptions as context only.

Learners see how using a customer list for a side hustle, or staying silent about a supplier kickback, is a governance failure rather than a private lifestyle choice. Managers see that tone from the middle matters as much as tone from the top.

We do not reproduce the King IV Report. If your legal team has a licensed extract, use it. Otherwise build from IoDSA’s public overview plus your signed code. That is also how you stay on the right side of copyright.

Generate in Kre8AI from those sources so examples match your speak-up channel. Publish as SCORM or HTML. Pair with ethics and anti-bribery, gifts, conflicts and whistleblowing titles rather than duplicating them.

Listed companies often need evidence that staff saw the code, not only that the integrated report mentioned culture. An LMS completion record closes that gap without a full-day workshop.
