Organizations that promote a culture built on a solid ethical foundation are better able to manage risk and create an environment of integrity, trust and purpose for all employees. Frequent and comprehensive training is not only an essential component of an effective ethics and compliance program, recent changes to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines (FSGs) and various statutes (e.g. SOX, FAR) have also made proactive training on workplace ethics and compliance a legal requirement.
