Do you ever wonder how contracts with third-party vendors get finalized, or who exactly has the green light to sign off on them? A simple mistake in vendor agreements or a lack of awareness around signature authority could land us in hot water.
To avoid costly legal issues, ensuring proper compliance training for staff is more important than ever – it equips you to navigate important procedures and safeguards.
Over the past few weeks, you may have received more than one reminder email from SAS-LMS@SAS.COM. If you haven’t already, it’s time to level up your skills with SAS’ ACT-Now (Accountability through Compliance Training-Now) training for Q2!
You can always view your learning dashboard to check the status of your assigned training and completion status. Here are the courses that are this week:
- The SIRT (Security Incident Response Team) course will help you brush up on your knowledge of how to identify and handle a security incident with the finesse of a seasoned spy. Think James Bond meets cybersecurity – shaken, not stirred. This course is on everyone’s playlist.
- The No Side Agreements course – the equivalent of a plot twist in a legal drama. As the name implies, this course will ensure you don’t inadvertently change the terms of a SAS or JMP contract with an action that creates an obligation or commitment to either company, a customer or third party. It’s the compliance version of avoiding pinkie promises, and we’re here to help you know what those look like in business.
Finally, if you are part of a job family that has regular externally facing interactions, you will receive a course assignment delving into the world of antitrust. Although only those in select job families will be required to complete this training, it’s not an exclusive showing so you can take the course if you’re curious.
Staying up to date with ACT-Now training will ensure you’re always ready for the next episode in your corporate compliance journey. Dive in as the plot thickens with every session, and you’ll be the star who knows how to navigate the twists and turns of the business world.
On a call with Jon Weisz right now and he told me that this is really well done and super important. Knock it out today if you haven't done it yet!
