Students are welcome to attend, both to learn from the sessions, and to meet practitioners in the compliance area. In the wake of several high-profile corporate scandals and government prosecutions, corporate compliance continues to grow in interest and importance to business organizations. Compliance professionals spend much of their time working to ensure that compliance programs are well-tailored to their firm and effective for management, employees, and customers. Compliance policies and procedures must be appropriately drafted, implemented, and enforced. But as the importance of corporate compliance grows, there is no consensus on what constitutes an effective compliance program.

The Second Annual Institute on Corporate Compliance  held in the faculty lounge will bring together practitioners, current or former government officials, and academics, who have differing perspectives on compliance. The Institute will include sessions on Department of Justice perspectives on corporate compliance programs, compliance education and training, and building a culture of compliance in a competitive business environment. Attendees will have the chance to discuss the practical realities of modern compliance with fellow compliance officers, attorneys, and other professionals.
