The Ethics and Compliance Program Manual for Multinational Organizations

Abstract

Based on the theoretical framework and the analysis of the interviews with ethics and compliance officers from different multinational organizations, this part will show how organizations should proceed when developing and implementing an effective ethics and compliance program. Part Three will give organizations a detailed step-by-step manual for building an effective ethics and compliance program. It combines relevant laws and regulations (particularly the 2004 Amendments) as presented in the theoretical framework (Part One) as well as the empirical results from the expert interviews (Part Two). Furthermore, the manual will be extended by the incorporation of relevant literature in the field of ethics and compliance. This part is thus the logical consequence of the theoretical framework and the empirical study of the interviews.
