CPE, CLE Accredited
This 1 day course will focus on ethics and compliance in government contracting. In particular, this course will examine the difference between ethics and compliance, an exploration into the history and philosophy of ethics & compliance, why your company needs an ethics & compliance program, the various facets of an effective ethics & compliance program, including an examination of the Mandatory Disclosure Rule, the rule requiring certain policies and procedures geared towards preventing and detecting fraud, waste, and abuse, and disclosing certain activities to the Government.

This course is further divided up into three components.
  • First, it will discuss setting up an effective ethics program, which includes policies & procedures, code of ethics, training and communication on ethics, inquiry and reporting, and investigations.
  • Second, it will review existing laws that could trigger a mandatory disclosure, including federal criminal laws, bribery, gratuity, collusion, kickbacks, conflicts of interest, and the False Claims Act.
  • Third, it will present various hypothetical ethical dilemmas and scenarios mirroring potential real-life scenarios involving ethics and compliance issues. Students should walk away with an enhanced understanding of the various elements of an effective ethics and compliance program, as well as the relevant laws and regulations the violations of which could trigger a disclosure to the Government.
