Greetings from the foothills of
Vermont.
In the wake of the corporate events that have taken place over
the past couple of years, the company I work for has taken a fresh look at
corporate governance, business ethics and business contingency recovery planning
to name just a few.
Internal Audit has recently been asked to taking a fresh look at our
conflict of interest policy. In particular I am interesting in learning what
other companies are doing in regards to Background Checks.
("Background Checks" refer to criminal &
credit checks performed by a third party provider)
- Does your company arrange for background checks on proposed Board of Director & Executive Management candidates?
- Does your company arrange for such checks on any other candidates for hire (not including agents/producers)
- If yes to either #1 or #2, do you distinguish between a criminal background check and a credit check or do you arrange to conduct both
Thanks in advance to your
reply.
