Report Description
The
current political, social, and economic climate demands increased
accountability, integrity, and transparency in the way the federal
government conducts business. With the passage of the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act ("ARRA"), the federal government will spend a
significant amount of money contracting with private companies to
complete the work outlined in the economic stimulus plan. These
government contracts are subject to strict compliance and ethics
requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulations ("FAR"). The FAR
was recently amended to broaden the scope of the ethics and compliance
requirements of the federal regulations; impose upon federal
contractors significant self-regulating measures; and mandate specific
elements of an organizational internal controls system. The primary
goal of these requirements is to ensure that federal contractors have
the framework to prevent fraud and unethical conduct in the performance
of government contracts. In this "Special Report", members of the
Jackson Lewis Corporate Governance Group provide an overview of newly
issued government requirements mandating the development of compliance
and ethics programs.
