Foreign directors and the criminal court summons process: bound by duty
Business, Tilleke & Gibbins International Ltd, Published on 06/01/2017
» The criminal summons process can affect a company director in many ways and at virtually any time. For example, a director may be summoned as a witness, as a representative for an accused company, or even as an individual accused of a crime. Further complicating matters is the possibility that a summons could be issued to a company director without his or her direct knowledge. This increases the risk of noncompliance, possibly subjecting the director to additional liability.
Benefits of an effective compliance programme

» Companies and the people who run them are subject to an increasing array of local and international regulations. Running afoul of these regulations can lead to corporate scandals that hurt a firm's reputation and cause lasting damage. A compliance and ethics programme can help ensure that an organisation operates within the law and stays true to its own ethical principles that are important to the company's business and identity.
