Corporate Compliance

The best defense is a good defense, and effective compliance is the best defense A good defense in the corporate world is a strong compliance program that is designed to protect businesses and the public alike. Failure to comply with government regulations can result in severe consequences, including fines, penalties, prosecution, imprisonment, profit disgorgement, government contract debarment, reputational damage and rescission of export licenses.

In the event of an allegation of wrongdoing, companies must be ready to investigate and respond swiftly, and engage a service provider with global reach and a sophisticated understanding of local and regional culture, language, and financial and regulatory systems. International investigations are rigorous, complex and exhaustive—and they require diverse resources. Our services focus on protecting the integrity and reputation of your business, as well as compliance with laws and regulations.

Our compliance program framework—which we leverage when conducting assessments, design work and remedial and corrective work—manages a variety of compliance risk areas (e.g., bribery and corruption, anti-trust, insider trading, etc.). It is predicated on the corporate compliance laws and regulations, a variety of guiding frameworks (e.g., U.S. federal sentencing guidelines, OECD framework, ISO 37001, etc.), agency guidance (e.g., Department of Justice and SEC guidance, Office of Inspector General Guidance, the UK Ministry of Justice Guidance, etc.) and other leading practices that organizations with mature compliance programs have generally found to be effective.
