About CBI's Premiere Forum on Bio/Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Corporate Integrity Agreements (CIAs), June 17-18, 2009:
Government prosecutors have publicly announced their continued resolve to investigate and bring charges against pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies who participate in alleged misconduct. The financial and reputational repercussions associated with non-compliance have never been higher. Many times, these settlements also bring with them a Corporate Integrity Agreement or other integrity obligation. Operating under the strict oversight of such agreements brings a great burden to your compliance departments. The event promises to attract compliance, legal and other professionals from a vast array of companies and functions. Not only will you receive up-to-date information about the current regulatory and legal landscape, but there will also be discussion of what can be learned from specific enforcement actions and settlements.
