What this service is: 

The BNA/ACCA Compliance Manual: Prevention of Corporate Liability helps you design, implement, and monitor an overall system of organizational compliance programs that qualify as effective under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines for Organizational Defendants.

What it helps you do: 

• Prevent and detect potential misconduct that could lead to criminal convictions, huge fines, recalls, and bad publicity.
• Protect your company or clients. Consult expert analysis on effective design and operation of compliance programs.
• Find guidance on designing programs to combat violations in specific risk areas.
• Study real-life situations—which could arise at your company—and their practical solutions, discussed by corporate experts.
• Save time on paperwork. Adapt for your own use the Manual's helpful documents, including sample policies, checklists, training materials, and questionnaires.
• Mitigate damages and effectively correct misconduct should it arise.
• More easily calculate compliance program costs, risks, and benefits.
• Be prepared to review compliance programs as situations change. Stay-up-to-date with federal and state case law, regulatory enforcement policies, industry trends, Sentencing Commission activities, and more.
