Overview:
There is an increasingly fine line between an organization – and its third party suppliers and partners. Perception is reality – and the reality is that corruption and other illegal business activities by third parties are becoming increasingly costly for organizations. Even established third party risk management programs are falling short – relying on manual processes that do not scale, are difficult to audit and lack the ability to enable market comparisons for benchmarking. Organizations are looking for ways to effectively streamline and automate the process of screening third party suppliers and partners because it’s good for business – and increasingly a requirement for compliance with global regulations including the UK Bribery Act and the FCPA.

Overview:
Most employers know that they should train their employees on preventing harassment in the workplace. Those with operations in California also know that by the end of this year they are required to provide training that meets specific, stringent requirements under State law. Many employers, however, will provide training that still leaves them exposed to legal liability and that does not help minimize the amount of inappropriate behavior in the workplace.

Knowing a hotline exists is the first step to enabling your employees to report allegations of misconduct.  But to make your hotline a truly effective risk mitigation tool, employees must have an understanding about what, when and why to report and have confidence that the reports are taken seriously and handled confidentially. This webinar addresses practical best practices for improving hotline report quality and volume as well as increasing non-anonymous submissions through effective and consistent communications. We will discuss:

• How an effective Code of Conduct sets the tone for your desired business culture and enables a clear understanding of expected behavior
• Why it's imperative to ensure that the 'Mood at the Middle' consistently reflects 'Tone from the Top'
• Elements of an effective Communication Campaign to promote and reinforce your Ethics & Compliance efforts

On May 25th, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) took a much anticipated step and adopted rules for its new whistleblower program. The whistleblower program, implemented under Section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Act, authorizes the SEC to pay rewards to individuals who provide the Commission with information that leads to successful enforcement actions. 

The new whistleblower program greatly expands the availability of awards to individuals who provide the SEC with information. Critics have contended that the program, by encouraging whistleblowers to go directly to the SEC, may undermine ethics and compliance programs. Others have expressed concerns about the role ethics and compliance officers and their companies will be expected to play under the provisions and what companies should do in response to the new rules regarding their own call intake systems, case management and training and awareness of employees.

The SEC program will be fully underway later this summer. Ethics and compliance officers need to understand the new rules and take steps to prepare for its implementation. In this Webinar, led by a former senior trial attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice, a former chief ethics officer, and a former member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s Advisory Group, you will learn:

• What the rules are and what’s new about them
• How the limits of the SEC’s bounty program have been expanded
• How the SEC’s whistleblower program may impact your company and your ethics and compliance efforts
• What actions you should take, now and in the weeks and months ahead, to prepare

Most employers know that they should train their employees on preventing harassment in the workplace. Those with operations in California also know that this year they are required to provide training that meets specific, stringent requirements under State law. Many employers, however, will provide training that still leaves them exposed to legal liability and that does not help minimize the amount of inappropriate behavior in the workplace.

• A review of the legal requirements under AB 1825 and the FEHC regulations
• A discussion of critical elements for any training you provide
• The areas in which many companies struggle to meet the requirements of AB 1825 and ways to help ensure compliance
• How merely complying with AB 1825 can leave an organization exposed to liability for harassment - and may even increase that exposure
• Current trends and developments in harassment law that need to be included in your updated training programs

This session will help you determine whether your current training truly is sufficient or whether you need to make adjustments to your current plan.

The UK’s Bribery Act 2010 has changed the rules for organizations that conduct any part of their business in the UK. It is important for these organizations to assess and modify their anti-bribery policies as well as prevention efforts around the world. The Act provides a defense to liability if the company can demonstrate it had “adequate procedures” in place to prevent bribery from occurring. But what are these adequate procedures?

This webinar will outline the requirements of the Act and provide practical steps to establish an effective compliance and anti-bribery program that can minimize risks. We will discuss:

• The Bribery Act 2010
  • The four offenses
  • Extra territorial reach of the Act
  • The adequate procedures defense
  • How it compares to other anti-corruption laws (such as US FCPA)
• Guidance on adequate procedures including Transparency International / GC100 and anticipated Ministry of Justice Guidance
  • Ministry of Justice Guidance currently under public consultation
  • The Six Principles for Bribery Prevention
• Practical steps that companies should take to establish effective anti-bribery programs
• Data protection issues arising from compliance measures (training, monitoring, whistleblower hotlines)

Social Media and the Workplace: Legal, Ethical and Practical Issues Every Employer Must Consider

Date:	June 3, 2010
Presenters:	Katrina Campbell - Vice President, Global Compliance Training & Education and Doug Smith – Attorney, McGuire Woods

 
Social media is a reality in the office. Yet most organizations have not defined the dos and don’ts of the proper use of social media in their office. And the risks are real: nearly 20% of companies report that they have investigated the posting of confidential, sensitive or private information by their employees using social media.

Employers must understand and educate employees on what constitutes appropriate and legal use of social media – whether they’re at work, home – or anywhere else they may be connected.
