Plainsboro NJ - June 28, 2010 - As part of the upcoming Compliance Week Virtual Conference, SAI Global will be presenting a Webcast entitled “Straightforward or Not? Compliance Policy Management in Global Organizations” on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at 2 PM Eastern.
In a recent ACC study, more than 60% of compliance and ethics professionals report that they create or recommend corporate compliance policies. And just about the same number are responsible for training employees on how to comply with corporate rules or standards.
Todd Guthrie, Senior Corporate Counsel and Global Compliance Officer, Intergraph Corporation; Sam Yoon, Director of International Compliance, General Dynamics, and Jeffrey Kaplan, Partner, Kaplan & Walker LLP will be discussing:
- How organizations decide what policies are required
- Gaining agreement on policy coverage and language
- The specific methods used and challenges faced by small and large corporations in communicating policies across the enterprise
- The flexibility required within any policy
- How requests for clarifications or exceptions to policies influence policy development or revision
- How organizations manage compliance by third parties
- Managing and tracking items covered by policies that can surface in investigations, such as giving or receiving gifts or hospitality, making facilitating payments, etc.
Throughout the webcast the panelists will review the various challenges inherent in policy development, management and communication, and best practices to effectively integrate these policies on a global scale.
This complimentary Webcast is part of the Compliance Week Virtual Conference.
