Ethics and compliance for federal contractors

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requires covered contractors to implement an ethics and compliance program, including employee training on the organization's code of business ethics and conduct.

Traliant’s Code of Conduct FAR training is a 40-minute TV-style interactive course designed for organizations that work as federal contractors. It provides training on the code of business ethics and conduct that most federal contractors are required to implement. The course follows an employee as he navigates high-stakes client relationships, conflicts of interest, gifts, and reporting concerns and grapples with Code compliance under the FAR rules.

The course can be customized to fit your organization’s code by adding policy-specific content and customized scenarios. Customization helps reinforce your organization’s values and standards while making the training more pertinent for employees.

When combined with the foundational training, 20 reinforcing Micro Reels, under 2 minutes each, help employees apply FAR ethics and compliance requirements in real-world situations and keep key compliance expectations top of mind throughout the year.
