Why You Should Attend

Having an effective compliance and ethics program is essential to companies of all kinds.  Such programs help prevent misconduct from occurring and allow organizations to detect and respond in a timely manner to misconduct when it does occur.  They also help organizations cultivate a true culture of business ethics, which is every bit as important to preventing wrongdoing as are traditional internal controls. 

Compliance and ethics programs are a necessary tool to manage the substantial risks posed by employee misconduct and assist organizations in dealing with violations when they occur.  Companies that implement effective programs can minimize the likelihood of devastating criminal sanctions – and also reap the rewards of employee loyalty and customer trust. The Workshop’s faculty which is drawn from major corporations, law firms, academia, and the government, are experienced compliance and ethics professionals who will provide you with the tools you need to advance your program.
