Despite the proliferation of third party relationships in business, relatively few companies set ethics and compliance expectations on the companies that they rely on to act on their behalf.

The SCCE survey found that only about half of companies (47%) disseminate their internal, employee code of conduct to third parties. Just 26% require that third parties certify to their codes of conduct, and only 17% of organization have a code of conduct that is applicable to third parties.

These relatively weak controls pose a great risk in the current enforcement environment.
