The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) recently released Director Essentials: Strengthening Compliance and Ethics Oversight, providing an overview of the role of the board in compliance oversight and outlining key questions directors can ask management to assess whether compliance and ethics programs have a real impact on business conduct.
This guide will be especially helpful for onboarding new directors and as a resource for board members who wish to refresh their knowledge about core governance topics.
In light of renewed regulatory focus, directors should consider strengthening their oversight of corporate compliance and ethics programs. New U.S. Department of Justice emphasis on the effectiveness of compliance and ethics programs in preventing, detecting, and mitigating the risk of individual wrongdoing is raising the bar for companies’ compliance efforts.
