Overview

Why you should attend

Compliance and ethics programs should no longer be considered optional. They are an important aspect of legal risk management, and government standards on compliance programs have become increasingly specific. No matter how large or small the company, paying careful attention to corporate compliance and ethics is critical.
  • No area is safe - prosecutors all over the world aggressively attack corporate crime, as countries now pursue subjects like antitrust and bribery that were never before under the spotlight. And fines keep getting larger.
  • The Dodd-Frank Act has provided employees with an incentive to report concerns to the government - rather than their employers -which greatly enhances the need for robust compliance programs.
  • New technology is emerging to help prosecutors discover violations.
  • Best practices in compliance are raising the bar of government expectations - but also provide ways for every compliance officer to do more with less and for every compliance program to function more effectively.
In short, at no time has promoting and maintaining an ethical corporate culture been as essential for a company’s survival and success.

At the Corporate Compliance and Ethics Institute, a distinguished faculty, drawn from major corporations, academia, compliance and ethics organizations, law firms and the government will provide you with the tools you need to meet today’s compliance and ethics challenges. Whether you are constructing a new program or enhancing an existing one, our panels of experts will tell you how to ensure that your company’s program satisfies government standards and best practices expectations. You’ll learn about current developments in compliance and ethics, along with practical tips on compliance and ethics risk assessments, compliance and ethics training, auditing and monitoring, helpline and investigations procedures, technology tools, board and senior management oversight of your program and program structures that work. The highly interactive format will allow you to benchmark on a real-time basis and learn best practices from your peers.
