Internal Compliance Program
In February 2011, a new legislation has been introduced, which grants the Israeli Securities Authority, a right to impose administrative fines and sanctions on violators of the Securities Law. Within the legislation, a special supervisory responsibility was imposed on the CEO of the company, if a violation occurred, it is presumed that it was made by the CEO, unless the company has adopted Internal Compliance Program, and undertook additional required steps, such as its due execution. Therefore adopting adequate Internal Compliance Program, may transfer the burden of proof to the Securities Authority, and may prevent administrative sanction procedures and fines in amounts of millions of NIS imposed on the CEO and the company.
Our Law Office has extensive experience in preparing internal control programs, including the Internal Compliance Program for public companies, including for dual listed companies.
