Spring / 2012

Welcome to the 2nd edition of the Click Connection. This newsletter is brought to you by Click 4 Compliance and is meant to give you the latest and greatest news and information from around the organization.

CEO Corner -

Dear Friends,

As we are well into 2012, I’d like to share with you some of the exciting developments at Click 4 Compliance.

We are extremely excited to announce the 1st of its kind, the C4C Mobile Compliance Officer App. Available as a FREE download at the iTunes App Store, this new app places practical anti-corruption compliance tips (including the FCPA and UK Bribery Act) in the hands of your company’s workforce and partners.

We also recently announced the release of our new course, Preventing Workplace Harassment, Discrimination & Retaliation, (Supervisor and All Employee versions), the revamp of our Privacy & Data Protection course. The Harassment launch was met with a flurry of requests to license the course, particularly because it’s a “real life, practical course” to which people relate.

By adding the App and these new and updated courses to our solid list of 12 industry-leading compliance training courses (some in 19 languages), Click 4 Compliance is even better suited to serve its existing clients (from Fortune 10 to startups in Africa) and of course, new clients!

Please take a look at our FREE offering – our Red Flags, 3rd Parties and Due Diligence short course can be taken as an Anti-Corruption compliance refresher or a supplement to C4C’s Global Anti-Corruption course!

We also announced a new management team, with Jonathan Sampson as our CFO/COO and Traci Coughlan as our VP of Sales. Please see their profiles below.

As we move further into 2012, Click 4 Compliance continues its enthusiastic pursuit of creating high-quality, cost-effective online compliance courses, keeping its clients extremely satisfied, and reducing compliance risks.

Great team, great courses, and of course, great clients.

Thank you for your support and being part of Click 4 Compliance’s success!

Where in the World is C4C?

Click 4 Compliance is excited to be participating in a variety of events this spring in the United States and around the world.

It has been a very busy Spring for Click 4 Compliance:

Consero logo Farzad Barkhordari, C4C’s CEO & Founder, was in Phoenix, AZ from March 11-13, where he moderated a seminar at the Corporate Compliance & Ethics Forum sponsored by Consero.

With Farzad’s extensive background in anti-corruption and FCPA compliance, he led a very informative session on Confronting Corruption & Enforcing Compliance in Emerging Markets which addressed the compliance challenges with 3rd parties, managing local behaviors and cultural issues and promoting compliance and ethics in areas where this is a relatively new concept.

Click 4 Compliance crossed the Atlantic to participate in Consero’s European General Counsel Forum in London, UK from March 25-27. Traci Coughlan, C4C’s VP of Sales participated in the seminar on the trending topic, What Every General Counsel Needs to Know About Managing Social Media in the Workplace.

With the explosion of social media in business, all global companies need to evaluate their corporate social media policies, prepare for regulations and know what to do in the case of litigation.

American Bar Assoc

Immediately following the European conference, Traci was back in Washington, DC on March 28-30 to lend her antitrust expertise as a speaker at the American Bar Association’s Antitrust Law 2012 Spring Meeting.

At this leadership event, she focused on Antitrust Compliance in the Financial Services Industry. The session shed light on the importance of compliance training for the employees in this industry with special attention on recognizing potential antitrust violations when interacting with rivals.

ACC Last week, C4C sent Chris Farris, GC, to Amsterdam for the ACC Europe’s 19th Annual Conference on May 13-15, 2012.

As a collaborator in the session, The Big 3: Globalization of Corruption, Bribery and Fraud Enforcement, Chris is sharing his perspective on how businesses can manage these “Big 3″ compliance areas now with the implementation of the UK Bribery Act and global enforcement of FCPA.

This week, Farzad is travelling to San Diego, CA to attend the 2012 General Counsel Forum, with another opportunity to lend his expertise in the important area of social media. He will lead the seminar, Managing Social Media in the Workplace

to guide companies in designing a social media policy, managing employees’ expectation for social media and then enforcing that policy.
