About This Workshop

 

Codes of Conduct and ethics awareness programs -- formerly voluntary -- are now mandatory for most federal contractors. Written Codes of Conduct and Compliance plans including disclosure procedures, internal controls, and training programs will be required under one or both of the following:

-FAR Case 2006-007, Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct (Now FAR Part 3.10)
-FAR Case 2007-006, Contractor Compliance Program and Integrity Reporting


Upon contract award, contractors will be required to furnish their employees with a written code of conduct, establish an Ethics Awareness Program and an Internal Control System, provide ethics training, and ensure their subcontractors have similarly done so. While the government does not spell out the components of an acceptable code and compliance program, penalties for non-compliance include suspension or debarment.

This one-day overview explains the changes and the impact of these new rules, and provides a solid outline for establishing compliance plans and internal controls.
