Answer 1

The given statement " One of the steps the U.S. Sentencing Commission delineated companies must implement to demonstrate due diligence is that a firm must develop and disseminate a code of conduct that communicates required standards and identifies key risk areas for the organization " is TRUE

Explanation:

The US Sentencing Commission is an official disciplinary body of the United States federal government.

The commission outlined 7 measures to show due diligence for businesses:

1. The company shall establish and disseminate a code of ethics outlining the necessary requirements and defining key danger areas for the organization.  

2. Oversight of the system is provided by top-ranking agencies considered to conform with business regulatory and ethical requirements (such as an ethics director, vice president of operations, general advocates and so forth).

3. Nobody should be positioned in a position of authority with a proven potential for wrongdoing.  

4. There will also be a training program (Ethics Training) for disseminating principles and procedures.
