231/01 Compliance Models

Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 introduced the administrative liability of companies for crimes committed in their interest or to their advantage by senior personnel or subordinates. Adopting an effective and properly implemented organisational model is the main form of protection available to the entity.

Services for companies

Risk assessment and mapping of the processes exposed to predicate offences.

Drafting of the Organisation, Management and Control Model, the Code of Ethics and the disciplinary system.

Periodic update of the Model following regulatory or organisational changes.

Staff training and internal awareness activities.

Supervisory Body (OdV)

Service as member or chair of the Supervisory Body under article 6 of d.lgs. 231/01, in several entities in Trento and Rome. The OdV oversees observance, operation and updating of the Model and reports to the corporate bodies.

For which companies

Limited and partnership companies, cooperatives, third-sector entities. Although technically optional, adopting the Model is in practice an implicit requirement to take part in public tenders, obtain industry certifications and protect both the entity's assets and its directors in case of an offence.
