Abstract

In this brief comment, Professor Christopher Yukins reviews a proposed rule to require major federal contractors to put corporate compliance systems in place. By shifting more compliance requirements to the Federal Acquisition Regulation itself, and by giving those requirements real force, the proposed rule will enhance integrity in the procurement system. Professor Yukins argues, though, that to improve on the proposed rule, regulators should recognize that the market has moved a step beyond the proposed rule: most contractors already benchmark their compliance systems against the U.S. Sentencing Commission's more demanding standards, and some contractors have gone even further, to integrate their corporate compliance efforts with broader quality assurance systems.
