Welcome to the Greetings and Felicitations, a podcast where I explore topics which might not seem to be directly related to compliance but clearly influence our profession. In this special series, I consider many structural engineering concepts are apt descriptors for an anti-corruption compliance program. In this episode 2, I consider the great structures of ancient Egypt and Greece and how they inform the building blocks of a compliance program: Code of Conduct, Policies and Procedures. Highlights include:
- Greek Column and Egyptian pyramid.
- What should go into your Code of Conduct.
- How should your policies be structured.
- How do implement policies through procedures.
- Training and communications of Code of Conduct/policies and procedures are mandatory yet complimentary strategies.
