Day 12 - The Importance and Construction of a Corporate Code of Conduct
Welcome to a special podcast series on the Compliance Podcast Network, 31 Days to a More Effective Compliance Program. Over these 31 days of the series in January 2025, Tom Fox will post a key part of a best practices compliance program daily. By the end of January, you will have enough information to create, design, or enhance a compliance program. Each podcast will be short, at 6-8 minutes, and will include three key takeaways you can implement at little or no cost to help update your compliance program. I hope you will join us each day in January for this exploration of best practices in compliance.
This episode explores the critical value and construction of a corporate Code of Conduct, explaining its evolution from a legalistic document to a cornerstone of compliance programs. The discussion includes an analysis of the 2016 SEC Enforcement Action against United Airlines, highlighting how violations of the Code of Conduct can lead to severe consequences, including substantial penalties and executive resignations. Key takeaways emphasize that a Code of Conduct should be tailored to a company’s specific culture and industry, must be accessible to all employees, and needs to be regularly updated and documented to ensure its effectiveness. Tune in to learn why a robust Code of Conduct is foundational for any compliance program.
Key highlights:
Introduction to Code of Conduct
Regulatory Expectations and Guidelines
Crafting an Effective Code of Conduct
