The possibilities of education of compliance thinking

Abstract

The article draws attention to a problem in higher education in Hungary, which results from the gap between the under-representation of compliance skills in higher education curricula and the real needs of the labour market. The article describes the main factors that have shaped the growing influence of compliance in recent years. It also describes the changing societal demands and the regulatory changes that have responded to these, further increasing the importance of compliance in business and non-business life. We make recommendations for the leaders and decision-makers in higher education in the country to facilitate curriculum development, arguing that marketable knowledge for students can only be acquired if the current curriculum offerings can keep pace with the changes. We will provide an overview of changes in national and international regulation to ensure transparency and the effectiveness of fraud and corruption prevention. We also highlight the benefits that can be achieved by adding compliance aspects to the curriculum in domestic higher education, and by which the value-creating capacity of a domestic higher education institution can be enhanced.
