This course helps participants understand the relationship between compliance training, aggressive sales tactics, government investigations, and criminal prosecutions. Without compliance training on white-collar crime, sales professionals can make decisions in pursuit of commissions or quotas that lead to government investigations and prosecutions. Part two of this two-part course profiles the career path of two sales professionals. Both went through government investigations and criminal prosecutions because of decisions they made during business development. Course participants learn how some team members respond to compliance training and get ideas on how to improve effectiveness of training techniques to lower business exposure to government investigations, prosecutions for white-collar crimes, prison terms, and corporate fines. Participants get real-life exposure to white-collar financial crime, showing the relevance of ongoing training in ethics, compliance, and corporate governance. This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available for questions during the event.
