Business & Legal Forum 2024 | Compliance: Why is it a Key Function?

Overview


Although in the United States, the Chief Compliance Officer is sometimes held personally liable (particularly in the financial sector), which entails risks and sanctions, in France, criminal liability may be imposed on managers or even legal representatives. What powers does the CCO have? Does the head of ethics, integrity and compliance simply have to apply the Sapin II Act and other compliance legislation to which the company is subject? What is their responsibility? What is the future of this key function in France? Does this call into question the importance of integrity and ethics in business?

To answer all these questions and more, Nicolette Kost de Sevres joins an expert panel discussing key issues in compliance at the Business and Legal Forum.
