Regulators and corporate executives are increasingly seeking third parties to assess, supervise and monitor corporate organizations’ compliance with company policies, procedures, relevant laws and regulations and corporate ethics programs. These monitorships arise under various mandated circumstances, such as deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs), non-prosecution agreements (NPAs) and other consent decrees. They may be voluntary in the case of a construction monitorship; corporate ethics monitor or ombudsman.
We have created business monitoring and compliance programs at the request of boards of directors or corporate executives to detect and prevent fraudulent and/or unethical activity and to enhance an organization’s integrity.
