Corporate Compliance Programs: Designing, Implementing and Evaluating a Best Practices Program for Your Organization and Industry

Abstract

Those responsible for the compliance and ethics initiative for their organization know that they are required to have an effective program in place as part of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. A best practices compliance program should be a continually evolving entity that responds to changes in legislation, your organization and industry.

Now more than ever before, ethics and compliance officers are being asked to build a business case that compliance is more than a mere cost-center. How can you demonstrate the viability-and necessity-of your program?

This discussion will provide a background on compliance best practices, efficient compliance program design, effective code writing and distribution, and alternatives for evaluating your compliance program and industry and global standards.

Agenda

The panel will address the following topics:

  • Compliance program structure
  • Your code of conduct: the case to revisit and rewrite
    • Setting the proper tone from the top and proactively addressing risk areas
    • Proper language and structure and the use of learning aids
  • Reporting procedures
  • Training, distribution and communication: how to successfully market your program
  • Benchmarking against your competitors
