Why You Should Attend
The state of corporate compliance and ethics continues to change dramatically. The regulatory environment has grown riskier and more complex for organizations. At the same time, current economic conditions are creating a host of challenges for compliance and ethics programs. In many companies with financial challenges, compliance officers are facing budget and staff cuts, and are expected to do more with less. And, as “best practices” continue to develop and organizations move the bar with respect to their compliance and ethics programs, the expectations of government regulators have correspondingly been raised. At no time has promoting and maintaining an ethical corporate culture been as challenging and as essential for a company’s survival, well-being, and success.
At the Corporate Compliance and Ethics Institute, a distinguished faculty, drawn from major corporations, compliance and ethics organizations, law firms, academia, and the government, will give you the tools you need to meet today’s compliance and ethics challenges, and to advance or develop an effective compliance and ethics program. The leading experts in the field will discuss how to ensure that your company’s program satisfies government standards and best practices expectations. Learn about current developments in compliance and ethics and how to create and maintain that elusive “tone at the top,” along with practical tips and best practices on conducting effective compliance and ethics risk assessments, program structure and management, compliance and ethics training and other communications, auditing and monitoring, reporting and investigations procedures, and reporting to the board and senior management on your program. The highly interactive format will allow you to benchmark on a real-time basis and learn best practices from your peers.
