Create scenario-based compliance training questions
Writes realistic workplace scenarios with answer options and explanations that test judgment, not memory of policy wording.
The prompt
Help me create scenario-based questions for compliance training.
Topic: [e.g. anti-bribery, data protection, insider trading, harassment, sanctions, information security]
Audience: [ROLES, seniority, regions]
Policy or rule to test: [PASTE key sections]
Mistakes we actually see: [from incidents, audits, or hotline reports - anonymized]
Number of questions: [e.g. 10]
Format: [multiple choice / branching scenario / discussion prompts for a live session]
For each question give:
1. Scenario - 3-5 sentences, set in this audience's real work, with fictional names and realistic pressures (deadlines, a senior person asking, a customer relationship at stake).
2. Question - what should you do?
3. Options - 4 choices, all plausible; wrong answers should reflect real-world rationalizations, not obviously silly choices.
4. Correct answer and explanation - why, citing the policy section, and what to do next (who to contact).
5. Why the tempting wrong answer is wrong.
Also:
- Mix difficulty: about 30% straightforward, 50% judgment calls, 20% genuinely gray areas where the right answer is "ask compliance".
- Include at least one scenario about speaking up and one where a manager is involved.
- Avoid stereotypes in names, roles, and regions.
- End with a short list of what learners should remember.
