Annotation

The U.S. Sentencing Commission's 1995 symposium on corporate crime, attended by approximately 450 people, focused on ways in which companies, industries, and enforcement officials have responded to incentives and other changes in the enforcement landscape that encourage businesses to develop strong compliance programs and to adopt crime control measures.

Abstract

Symposium participants included a wide range of Federal enforcement officials, corporation representatives, private attorneys, and consultants. Symposium presentations and discussions explored organizational guidelines on corporate crime promulgated by the U.S. Sentencing Commission, corporate experiences in developing effective compliance programs and practices, compliance standards, the role of ethics and incentives in achieving effective compliance, the experience and views of the enforcement community, when compliance practices should be protected from disclosure, and the government's role in fostering good corporate citizenship. Appendixes contain additional information on symposium discussions and participants. Tables and figures
