WEBINAR: Top Compliance and Ethics Considerations for Government Contractors and Best Practices for Mitigating Risk

Webinar | 03.29.17, 9:00 AM EDT - 10:00 AM EDT

Join Crowell & Moring and Ethical Advocate for a webinar focusing on key compliance and ethics considerations and best practices for mitigating risks. This free webinar will take place on Wednesday, March 29, at 1:00 Eastern. We will discuss what compliance and ethics challenges are “top of mind” for government contractors in 2017 – including new regulations, new requirements, and new enforcement priorities. In adding to identifying key risk areas, we will explore practical steps that companies take to mitigate risk. Some risk mitigation strategies focus on addressing specific requirements, whereas other measures target compliance and ethics issues at a programmatic/company culture level. We hope you can join us for this 60-minute webinar.

Speakers include Peter Eyre and Olivia Lynch from Crowell & Moring's Government Contracts Group and Jacob Blass from Ethical Advocate.

Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
