The U.S. Sentencing Commission has proposed significant changes to Chapter 8 of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Among other changes, they require a risk assessment; place specific responsibilities on the "governing authority" and "organizational leadership"; require training as a means of communication; require that a program be regularly evaluated as a minimum requirement for an effective program; and require an organization to "otherwise promote an organizational culture that encourages ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the
law." http://www.ussc.gov/2004guid/RFMay04_Corp.pdf
