Government Contracting Ethics & Compliance

Learn what it takes to comply with new ethics requirements, prevent litigation and stay competitive. The chances of losing U.S. Government contracts for ethics and compliance reasons have never been higher. Greater government contracting oversight, new OCI and PCI rules, FAPIIS requirements, increased liability risks under the False Claims Act, and stricter lobbying disclosure rules require that all contractors implement an airtight internal compliance policy to meet more rigorous contractor ethics requirements. Given the recent wave of legislative changes and the growing threat of suspension, debarment and steep penalties, government contractors, large or small, must reevaluate the effectiveness of their ethics compliance controls and detect violations before they result in litigation, enforcement, and lost business.
