This exhortation arises in light of the entry into force of the new Penal Code, which introduces significant changes, especially highlighting the criminal liability of legal entities.<\/p>\n\n<p>Viro emphasized that the new legislation marks a turning point for the national productive sector. The regulation grants unprecedented relevance to the ability of organizations to demonstrate that they have solid management, supervision, and risk mitigation structures.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>This means that we as companies have to look inward.

According to Viro, effective compliance implies:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Establish rigorous and verifiable internal controls.<\/li><li>Identify and prevent operational and legal risks in a timely manner.<\/li><li>Act with responsibility and transparency at every hierarchical level.<\/li><li>Promote ethical management that guarantees the long-term sustainability of the company.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p>During the association&#8217;s monthly cocktail, which featured the participation of legal expert V\u00edctor Santana, from the firm Jim\u00e9nez Pe\u00f1a, it was emphasized that a modern company must not only stand out for its productivity and innovation, but also for its ability to legally shield itself against current challenges.<\/p>\n\n<p>From ANEIH, it is reiterated that prevention is the best tool for the private sector. Knowing the scope of the law before any eventuality occurs is a key strategy to protect the interests of shareholders, employees, and the market in general. The association&#8217;s commitment is to continue providing guidance spaces so that Dominican executives can navigate this new legal landscape with total security.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANEIH urges the business sector to shield itself against the changes in the new Penal Code The president of the National Association of Herrera Companies and Industries (ANEIH), \u00c1ngelo Viro, has made an urgent call to the Dominican business community to begin a deep review of their internal protocols, control mechanisms, and prevention systems.
