UIA Milan Seminar, 12-13.09.2019
Corporate Compliance and Internal Investigations. The Role of External and In-House Counsel
Panel 7: Remediation and Compliance
Crossing borders and piercing the corporate veil
As part of any internal investigation or as a result of a criminal investigation, a company will need to consider whether it has sufficiently robust compliance procedures in place, particularly where misconduct has been identified. Any procedures, training and implementation need to be considered, within the wider context of the overall adequacy of the company’s control framework. If these are not considered to be adequate, the company will need to consider what remediation steps are required to protect the company going forward. Often compliance and remediation will be reviewed in parallel with the internal investigation. This is particularly important if a company decides to self-report.
The panel will share the pitfalls to avoid in any remediation and compliance programme.
