View Chapter 1 - The Business Case for Compliance Programs

Given today’s increased enforcement actions against public entities for civil and criminal violations, PLI’s Corporate Compliance Answer Book 2009 is especially important.

Corporate Compliance Answer Book covers the range of regulated industries and corporate activities in a convenient Q&A format to help public companies, government contractors, health care groups, and financial institutions comply more easily with the federal regulations relevant to them — and avoid sanctions.

Corporate Compliance Answer Book shows how provisions of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines can serve as a firm foundation for your effective compliance and ethics program. It also shows how you can conduct internal investigations to detect and prevent legal problems; use risk assessment to pinpoint your company’s legal vulnerabilities; apply gap analysis to spot and eliminate flaws in your compliance program; craft a solid records management program that prepares you for investigations, discovery, and litigation; and cooperate fully with federal authorities during investigations to mitigate the legal and financial damage caused by illegalities.

Updated annually, Corporate Compliance Answer Book is a vital compliance tool for corporate attorneys and compliance officers and an important reference for corporate executives and managers.
