A recent article from The Corporate Counsel cited an Insight authored by partners Amy Schuh and Leland Benton discussing the growing importance of strong ethics and compliance programs in today’s corporate environment.
Quoting from the firm’s Insight, the article noted that “[w]hile the SEC allows different codes for different groups (e.g., executives, employees, board members), many compliance professionals recommend maintaining a single, comprehensive code for all personnel. Tailored training can then address the specific responsibilities of high-risk or gatekeeper functions, such as legal, finance, HR, or procurement.”
