So your CEO has finally recognized that the company needs a compliance program, and naturally turns to you, the lawyer. Where do you start? How do you determine that you've identified the compliance risks, complied with all the applicable laws and regulations, and adequately addressed the risks? This session will describe the essentials of a compliance program including risk assessments, policy development, communications, training, establishment of controls and monitoring and testing of controls. Presenters will offer firsthand experiences (some positive) and best practices, incorporating MRCP 3, A-C privilege, MRCP 1.16 and MRCP 1.13 for ethics.

This program will review the management of compliance along the spectrum of management compliance, from legal and voluntarily adopted standards, to areas where business partners or outside organizations pressure companies to meet certain standards while weighing the costs against use of non-renewable resources (slavery, child labor, etc.) in the name of corporate social responsibility. Is it possible to create a proper and workable integration of the two efforts? Can it be within the compliance office or a joint effort of two or more corporate units?
