Benefits:

As regulators in the U.S. and around the world strengthen rules governing corporate compliance and oversight, the current economic conditions have intensified the challenges facing in-house, corporate, and litigation attorneys. A recent series of white collar prosecutions and internal investigations has underscored the import of this changing practice. Promoting and maintaining an ethical corporate culture have never been as paramount and complex as now for the survival and success of the modern corporate entity. Our three distinguished speakers bring an extensive background from the Department of Justice and several of the nation’s leading law firms. These nationally recognized experts will give you the tools needed to advance and develop an effective compliance program, as well as ensure that your company or client’s compliance program satisfies the rigorous new standards. You will learn about the effects of the economic downturn and subsequent rulemaking on compliance programs, the newly issued expectations for reporting and documenting compliance initiatives, the latest trends and design of Risk Assessments, developments in internal investigations and white-collar crime prosecutions, the evolving role of the Board, international considerations, and developments in anti-bribery.
