Bad Business: Indicted Or Not, You Are Going To Get Caught

As a communications professional, I was particularly struck by Howard Skier’s article this week, Six Reasons Why You’re Going To Get Caught. Howard talks about the dilemma of companies who catch an instance (or even a pattern) of bribery or illegal contract negotiation in their ranks. After dealing with the situation, conpanies must also consider the decision to self-disclose the corruption to the DOJ. There’s a strong tendency in a situation like this to hope that if you caught a problem early and solved it quickly, you can avoid disclosure and hope you will never be caught.
