Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is number (1): True.

Explanation:

Due diligence refers to the exercise an individual is subject to after entering a contract with another party by which a certain standard of care is expected from the individual.  

The United States Sentencing Commission is the governmental agency in charge of reviewing sentences discrepancies and promoting fair sentencing.

In front of ethical issues within a firm, the U.S. Sentencing Commission states that the company must have disseminated a code of conduct so that the filing company can allege a violation of the due diligence employees are subject to.
