...BA 3301 Legal Environment of Business Compliance Interview and Report Assignment Associate Professor Lee Usnick, JD I. ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW Virtually all business activities conducted in the United States are highly regulated, not only by governmental entities, but by professional entities as well. Compliance with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations is a prerequisite to the long term health and survival of a business. Equally important is a business's compliance with standards issued by the professional and accrediting bodies responsible for licensing and certification. Certain industries are more regulated than others. For example, health care, financial services, and public utilities are all highly regulated with extensive licensing and operational standards. When a business fails to comply with all applicable regulations and standards, the business and the individuals who manage it can face a variety of sanctions, from loss of license and program certification, to civil and criminal sanctions that include monetary penalties and prison. In this assignment, you will learn how someone in your selected industry meets the challenges of current compliance requirements. It is not necessary to address all aspects of compliance in this industry or selected company. Rather, you should educate yourself in broad terms about the kinds of governmental and industry standards covering your interviewee's business, then select a few key aspects to explore in depth with...
