This
recent article spotlights the ever-increasing attention directed to
compliance issues in every industry:
What’s Really so Important about an Effective
Compliance Program?
“Every major corporation in America has, as a
stated goal, the need for “an effective corporate compliance program.” The
stark legal reality, however, is that an effective compliance program cannot
be an idle aspiration that will be addressed when limited corporate time and
resources permit. Why? The absence of an effective compliance program may
result in enhanced criminal and civil exposure for a corporation. This risk
is not theoretical. Rather, existing law provides that an effective
compliance program is essential for a corporation to reduce or eliminate
corporate criminal and civil liability. The result is that compliance
issues will continue to be a significant factor in any corporate civil or
criminal proceeding. Accordingly, corporations must recognize that an
effective compliance program, or more important, the absence of such a
program, may pose critical exposure risks, both criminal and civil. (By
Marc S. Raspanti and Gregg W. Mackuse, National Association of Criminal
Defense Lawyers, The Champion, May 2007.)
