The job market for trained corporate compliance professionals is expanding both in the United States and around the world. Recent efforts by regulators in various industries have heightened the importance of corporate compliance initiatives because an effective compliance program may reduce a company’s risks, reduce the severity of claims and penalties when violations do occur, and enhance corporate performance and profitability.
The Program
This program will introduce participants to basic aspects of compliance and to the role of the corporate compliance office in implementing and evaluating programs designed to comply with statutory, regulatory, and company rules, and disseminating of such programs among management and employees. The Institute will explore fundamental elements of compliance, including risk assessment, attorney-client privilege, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, global codes of conduct, crisis management, deferred prosecution and non-prosecution agreements, and corporate social responsibility.
The Institute also examines compliance issues that are specific to some of the more heavily-regulated industries, including the banking, financial services and pharmaceutical industries. The course also considers issues relating to compliance with antitrust, employment, intellectual property and information technology, and environmental regulations which cut across industry sectors.
