Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is an organization with strong values of responsibility and integrity. Our written standards and policies contain general guidelines for conducting business with the highest standards of ethics.
ACC is committed to an environment where open, honest communications are the expectation, not the exception. ACC has a strong non-retaliation policy for reports made in good faith. We want ACC staff to feel comfortable in approaching your supervisor or Director of Compliance, and ACC members, sponsors and vendors to feel comfortable in approaching the Director of Compliance in instances where you believe violations of policies, laws or standards have occurred. You are encouraged to submit reports relating to violations stated in our written standards and policies, as well as asking for guidance related to policies and procedure and providing positive suggestions and stories.
ACC’s document titled Comprehensive Compliance Reporting Policy and Procedures (link is above under Policies) explains ACC’s policy and procedures for reporting compliance concerns, and the various channels available to report such concerns, including contact information. This hotline is one of the reporting channels available.
