Assessing Ethics and Compliance in M&A-Episode 4

I have been visiting with Eric Feldman, Senior Vice President, Don Stern, Managing Director of Corporate Monitoring & Consulting Services, and Rod Grandon, Managing Director of Government Services, from Affiliated Monitors, Inc., (AMI) who is the sponsor of this series. In it, we explore how to go about assessing ethics and compliance in the mergers and acquisition (M&A) context. In this fourth episode I visit with Grandon about the types of things a monitor would review to determine if a company adequately considered ethics and compliance during the M&A process. 

In this episode we discuss:

1. What kinds of things would a monitor review to determine if a company adequately considered ethics and compliance during the M&A process?
2. What steps can a company take to ensure that the merger/acquisition goes smoothly and there are minimal conflicts?
3. What are some of the warning signs of residual conflicts from an M&A that require attention?
