White paper will help companies build due diligence programmes to minimise risk from non-compliance with FCPA

SAN FRANCISCO and HONG KONG, July 28 /CEO News Info/ — The Red Flag Group, a leading compliance advisory, due diligence and technology firm, announces today the publication of its latest thought leadership to help companies build best-in-class due diligence programmes and minimise third- party compliance risks.

(Logo: http://www.prnasia.com/sa/2009/08/06/200908061401.jpg )

Entitled “Best Practices in Conducting FCPA/Anti-Bribery Due Diligence”, the white paper provides step-by-step guidance for companies building a comprehensive third party compliance programme, from gaining commitment from all tiers of an organisation, through to assessing risks, identifying the appropriate type of due diligence, and monitoring. The report also seeks to help companies navigate the different due diligence investigation choices available to them, from reviews of politically-exposed-persons watch-lists, corporate registries, and litigation records, to site visits, interviews, and reviewing the third party’s policies and procedures. Finally, the report includes real life examples, FAQs, charts, and tips to help companies build due diligence programmes that are tailored to their particular risk profiles and business needs, and make use of industry best practices.

“All too often, companies take a reactive approach to conducting due diligence on third parties they do business with. They may see best-in-class competitors conducting due diligence on their distribution channel, and institute their own programme aping that, out of a sense of being left behind,” said James Walton, Customer Advocate at The Red Flag Group and a co- author of the white paper.

“The problem with that approach is that it fails to take into account the fact that each company has its own appetite, attitude, and tolerance for risk. This means that the way in which different companies conduct due diligence to address their unique risks will also be different, even if they are in the same industry,” he said. There are also many other reasons why third party due diligence programmes fail, Mr Walton added. This includes a lack of commitment on the part of stakeholders, lack of a clearly defined purpose, lack of resources, or poor selection of due diligence provider. Companies will need to avoid such common mistakes if they are seeking to build a successful due diligence programme that helps minimise the risk from third parties — whether they be suppliers and service providers, agents, or resellers and distributors, he said.

Mr Walton added that a comprehensive third party due diligence programme that is aligned to a company’s risks and business objectives not only reduces the risk that its distributors or resellers engages in illegal acts such as bribery, but can also expose the company to a range of benefits from strengthening risk management in its sales channel, to increasing margins and providing better pricing control, providing better safety to consumers and end-users, and increasing protection to the corporate brand.

Scott Lane, CEO for The Red Flag Group and also co-author of the report, said: “Not only does The Red Flag Group have extensive experience providing FCPA and anti-bribery due diligence to Fortune 500 companies, but our offices in emerging markets around the world — including China and the Middle East — also mean we have the local knowledge and expertise to provide the type of useful intelligence companies need, in what are considered some of the most challenging places for conducting due diligence. We are well-placed to help companies address a range of due diligence needs, from the provision of update-to-date and accurate due diligence through our due diligence services offerings, to the design, implementation, and maintenance of third-party due diligence programmes through our advisory services.”

One company which chose The Red Flag Group is software company Adobe Systems, who conducts due diligences on third parties and business partners around the world — including the US and key emerging markets — in deciding whether or not to renew business relationships and grant contracts. “We chose The Red Flag Group’s due diligence services because of its clear scope and documented processes, detailed media analysis in local languages, duplicated watch-list searches, as well as their proactive, positive, and professional attitude in providing useful and timely information to help us make crucial business decisions. We are very satisfied,” said Mike Ward, director of compliance at Adobe Systems.

MARINA DEL REY, Calif., July 28 /CEO News Info/ — Dr. Richard Merkin, President and CEO of Heritage Provider Network sponsored the third in an ongoing Community Healthcare dialogue series discussing the impact of HealthCare Reform Legislation on the Community and the economic implications for small businesses. The event was co-sponsored by The North Valley Chamber of Commerce, The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce and Regal Medical Group, part of the HPN family. The packed house of attendees listened to influential panelists including Dr. Adam Solomon, Assistant Medical Director, Regal Medical Group, member Heritage Provider Network Family, Mr. Fred Bauermeister, Executive Director of the Free Clinic of Simi Valley and Kerry Carmody the COO, and interim CEO, of the California Region for Providence Health and Services.

The Honorable Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, 38th District, who is a member of the California State Assembly Committee on Health, moderated the panel. The spirited discussion centered on the benefits and impact of Healthcare Reform on the community, including how to keep healthcare costs down while integrating the thousands of newly insured to our distressed hospitals and free clinics. Numerous questions from the audience centered around the implementation of reform, what it means for the individual in Southern California, potential changes in Medicare and access to care.

“We at Regal Medical Group concentrate on quality of care, access to care and affordability of care. By being accountable for the full spectrum of patient needs, we help facilitate the provision of evidence based medical care that is not only efficient, but also is shown to have the best outcomes. This integrates very well into the new legislative directives,” said Dr. Adam Solomon, Assistant Medical Director, Regal Medical Group.

“Of the 100 hospitals in and around Los Angeles County, many are really struggling financially,” pointed out Kerry Carmody, COO and interim CEO of the California Region for Providence Health and Services. “Balancing care and costs and improving quality, is something we can only do together.”

With Los Angeles ground zero in the country for the uninsured, 1 out of every 4 under the age of 65, hospital emergency rooms and free clinics are feeling the pinch.

“Until these regulations for insurance coverage for all are implemented, we will try to extend our care to cover as many patients as we can,” said Fred Bauermeister, Executive Director of the Free Clinic of Simi Valley. “The good news is, this legislation implements new technologies for delivery systems like electronic medical records that will make our job much easier, then we can take more patients.”

“Our Community Healthcare Dialogue series provides an important opportunity to hear from the community on a critically important issue. No other medical group similar to us is sponsoring these types of events,” said Dr. Richard Merkin, President and CEO of Heritage Provider Network. “We are happy to fill the need and help the community understand the changes that our coming in our healthcare delivery system, and continue to look for better ways to provide quality healthcare with feedback from our community and our business leaders.”

About HPN:

Heritage Provider Network, Inc. (HPN) is on the cutting edge of the accountable care model of health care delivery: coordinated, patient-doctor centric, integrated health care systems that represent the future of health care in the United States.
