CORPORATE COMPLIANCE
• Compliance programs developed/implemented by business organizations to control risk of violations of law and policy, promote ethical conduct and thereby maintain/enhance corporate reputation.
• Federal Sentencing Guidelines set legal incentives to develop compliance programs and specified key elements:–Establish standards and procedures–Executive Leadership to be knowledgeable re: content/operations
and have it resonate throughout the organization - - “tone at the top.”–Senior personnel to be assigned overall program responsibility:
effectively “cascade” it throughout the organization• Systematically communicate, reinforce and train all
employees on program - - should become part of “corporate DNA"

MAIN TAKEAWAY
•While there are many legal, regulatory, organizational and societal forces impacting development of compliance programs, there’s no “One Size Fits All.”
• There are a variety of ways to implement, monitor and audit each program based on size, resources, industry, commitment and level of engagement of each unique organization.
