Course Outline:
The government requires contractors to create a code of ethics and comply with the new FAR Part 3.10 requirements. These new regulations prescribe policies and procedures for the establishment of contractor codes of business ethics and conduct and the mandatory disclosure of certain ethics violations to the government. The regulations also call for the establishment of an ongoing business ethics and awareness program and, in some cases, an internal control system regarding contractor ethics and conduct.
This ethics training program is designed to address these latest ethics compliance requirements. The program will concentrate heavily on understanding, identifying and avoiding improper business activities, including:
- prohibited payments such as bribes, illegal gratuities, and certain types of contingent fees,
- anti-competitive practices such as violations of the procurement integrity rules,
- personal and organizational conflicts of interest, and
- prohibitions on hiring certain government personnel.
Furthermore, one of the principal goals of the program is to explain the minimal ethical standards applicable to government contractors doing business with the federal government and to address how to comply with the new FAR Part 3.10 requirements.
