Compliance Programs & Due Diligence

Compliance Programs  •  Due Diligence  •  Ethics & Conduct

The MPM Group, Inc. adroitly develops Compliance Programs that are designed to address most corporate and private businesses, educational institutions, clerical (church/schools), Ethics & Conduct concerns, Due Diligence practices, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the Dram Shop Act, and other general Compliance Programs that meet, if not exceed, the U.S. Department of Justice’s newly revised “guidance” as it pertains to criminal and civil exposure concerning individual Compliance Program efforts. MPM’s Compliance Programs are designed to be client specific and can be designed to be presented exclusively online (virtual), with attendance and completion verification, or presented as a hybrid program that requires some degree of in-person participation.

MPM’s Compliance/Due Diligence Programs are designed to  comply with each Client’s request and specific needs.

Due in no small measure to the financial market meltdown – coupled with the numerous high-profile convictions for corporate fraud and/or professional misconduct – ethical behavior is once again in the public and media crosshairs. The MPM Group’s panel of due diligence, ethical compliance and academic professionals are uniquely qualified to discuss this new national “comply or die” environment as well as the best practices for those in corporate boardrooms, government executives, or any U.S. based business organization who, now more than ever, face the prospect of increased scrutiny from compliance regulators, the media and, more frequently of late, government prosecutors.

Although premised under the “worst-case scenario,” the U.S. government has established their expectations concerning Due Diligence and Ethical Compliance. In fact, Section 8B2.1 of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines (“Guidelines”) sets forth the required steps that any organization must take to have an “effective compliance and ethics program”—one entitling it to any kind of mitigation under the Guidelines.

Generally, there are four factors that increase the ultimate punishment of an organization: (1) the involvement in or tolerance of criminal activity; (2) the organization’s prior history; (3) the violation of an order; and (4) the obstruction of justice. Interestingly, there are two factors that will mitigate an organization’s ultimate punishment: (1) the existence of an effective compliance and ethics program within it; and (2) self-reporting, cooperation, or acceptance of responsibility by the organization.

Drawing upon their eclectic and innovate resources, MPM offers “Real Time” expertise in finding solutions to these mandated, albeit oft-times confusing, compliance issues – issues that are usually founded in these four basic business maxims:

• Effective Pre-Employment Screening
• Periodic Employee Updates
• Compliance Training
• Sound Advice
