Definición

  • In what was to have a profound effect on corporate America, unique legal standards were enacted in the United States in November 1991. The standards, referred to as the U.S. Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations (“Guidelines”), used a carrot and stick approach to create incentives for thousands of corporations to report wrongdoing, to cooperate with authorities while accepting responsibility for misconduct, and to establish or enhance their compliance or ethics programs.
