Changing Ethics Compliance Rules And Their Potential Impact On Government Contractors And Investors

Recently, the US Government implemented a new rule and proposed yet more rules regarding ethics and corporate compliance programs for government contractors. This marks a continuing shift towards adopting a more aggressive approach in addressing government contractor fraud, which is similar to the protocols applied to other sectors of US industry.

The enacted rule addresses requirements for contractor codes of business ethics and conduct ("CBE"), awareness programs and internal control systems. The newly proposed rules go much further, heightening the need for contractors to strengthen their ethics and compliance programs and for investors to focus on these issues during due diligence.
