Fostering an ethical culture does not happen by accident; it takes focus and commitment. But not only do companies with strong cultures of integrity outperform their peers, being recognized as a place where doing the right thing is the guiding principle strengthens employee retention and recruitment. We specialize in assisting companies in elevating their culture by, among other activities, creating or refreshing the company’s Code of Conduct and other guidance documents, enhancing employee engagement through actions and communications, promoting a “speak up” culture, and developing a trusted and transparent approach to misconduct investigations.

Strict compliance often is viewed as limiting, but it does not have to be. Often, the same steps that ensure regulatory compliance can also enhance productivity and accountability. We can assist you in building or enhancing your regulatory compliance programs, including in the areas of risk assessment and gap analysis, internal control design, training, governance, and communication. Note: We do not consult on SOX or financial controls, other than as part of other compliance regimes.

Operating globally presents risks as well as opportunities, risks that often are overlooked until a problem unveils. We are experts in the area of anticorruption and anti-bribery, and can also advise on proper use of international sales terms (Incoterms), import-export considerations, political risk, and how to steer clear of money laundering and doing business with Designated Parties.
