Download or read book Corporate Legal Compliance Handbook 3rd Edition written by Banks and Banks and published by Wolters Kluwer. This book was released on 2020-06-19 with total page 1976 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Legal Compliance Handbook, Third Edition, provides the knowledge necessary to implement or enhance a compliance program in a specific company, or in a client's company. The book focuses not only on doing what is legal or what is right--the two are both important but not always the same--but also on how to make a compliance program actually work. The book is organized in a sequence that follows how to approach a compliance program. It gives the compliance officer, consultant, or attorney a good grounding in the basics of compliance law. This includes such things as the rules about corporate and individual liability, an understanding of the basics of the key laws that impact companies, and the workings of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. Successful programs also require an understanding of educational techniques, good communication skills, and the use of computer tools. The effective compliance program also takes into account how to deliver messages using a variety of media to reach employees in different locations, of different ages or education, who speak different languages. Note: Online subscriptions are for three-month periods.

Download or read book Too Big to Jail written by Brandon L. Garrett and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American courts routinely hand down harsh sentences to individual convicts, but a very different standard of justice applies to corporations. Too Big to Jail takes readers into a complex, compromised world of backroom deals, for an unprecedented look at what happens when criminal charges are brought against a major company in the United States. Federal prosecutors benefit from expansive statutes that allow an entire firm to be held liable for a crime by a single employee. But when prosecutors target the Goliaths of the corporate world, they find themselves at a huge disadvantage. The government that bailed out corporations considered too economically important to fail also negotiates settlements permitting giant firms to avoid the consequences of criminal convictions. Presenting detailed data from more than a decade of federal cases, Brandon Garrett reveals a pattern of negotiation and settlement in which prosecutors demand admissions of wrongdoing, impose penalties, and require structural reforms. However, those reforms are usually vaguely defined. Many companies pay no criminal fine, and even the biggest blockbuster payments are often greatly reduced. While companies must cooperate in the investigations, high-level employees tend to get off scot-free. The practical reality is that when prosecutors face Hydra-headed corporate defendants prepared to spend hundreds of millions on lawyers, such agreements may be the only way to get any result at all. Too Big to Jail describes concrete ways to improve corporate law enforcement by insisting on more stringent prosecution agreements, ongoing judicial review, and greater transparency.

Download or read book Revising the Organizational Sentencing Guidelines to Eliminate the Focus on Compliance Programs and Cooperation in Determining Corporate Sentence Mitigation written by Lindsay Eastman and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate crime has dominated the news recently, and likely contributed to the United States' recent financial crisis. After a corporation is convicted of a federal offense, the judge must determine the proper sentence to meet the goals of deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and just punishment. The United States Sentencing Commission promulgates the Organizational Sentencing Guidelines to advise judges in this endeavor. The Guidelines correlate an organization's offense level with a base fine, which is adjusted upward or downward based on the company's culpability. Points may be deducted from an organization's culpability score, thereby reducing its sentence, if it had in place an effective compliance program at the time of the violation and/or fully cooperated in the government investigation. Thus, a corporation may substantially reduce its criminal punishment through adopting a facially effective compliance program before the crime, or cooperating with prosecutors in the wake of an offense. This approach is problematic for several reasons. First, the weight of evidence refutes the notion that compliance programs prevent misconduct or detect crime within organizations. Additionally, employee and organizational rights are compromised when the government pressures a company to cooperate. This Note recommends that the Organizational Sentencing Guidelines be revised to eliminate reductions in culpability scores based on compliance programs and cooperation. Instead, these considerations should be incorporated into the general factors courts already weigh in sentencing, which would provide judges the freedom to calculate the appropriate fine in each case and ensure that corporations receive just punishment for their crimes.
