Nachdem Frau Premierministerin Theresa May verkündet hat „Brexit bleibt Brexit“, ist es für die Unternehmen angezeigt, sich mit möglichen Rechtsfolgen des Vollzuges auseinanderzusetzen.

Yesterday I began what I thought would be a two-part series on compliance training.However, or perhaps more accurately, as usual, I got carried away so I am now off on a multi-part series on how to design, implement and assess an effective compliance and ethics training program. This series was inspired by an article in Slate, entitled “Ethics Trainings Are Even Dumber Than You Think”, by L.V. Anderson. Her article was generally dismissive of compliance and ethics training, panning it as a mere ‘check-the-box’ exercise so corporations could use it as a CYA defense if any government regulators ever came looking. In spite of her dismissive attitude, she did have some useful nuggets that you should incorporate into your Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) compliance program.

In a recent Slate article, entitled “Ethics Trainings Are Even Dumber Than You Think”, author L.V. Anderson railed against what she termed box-checking training where companies put on training not to actually train employees but simply to check the box that training has occurred. She also spoke against “dumbed-down nature of most compliance courses”.
