Corporate Governance
We view sound corporate governance and ethical conduct as essential to the success of our business and our ability to create value for our stakeholders. We believe that enduring economic success is inextricably linked to ethical business conduct and responsible corporate citizenship.
We have adopted a broad corporate governance and compliance program, which includes policies and procedures, training, systems, and tools in a number of key legal areas.
We are firmly committed to maintaining strong corporate governance and compliance programs informed by best practices and we periodically review our policies and procedures to ensure they are up to date with regulatory requirements.
We are also committed to maintaining a strong control environment and to making effective controls an integral part of our routine business practices, with checks and balances in place to help us address issues before they become larger problems.
We require our employees to act in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and to maintain a high level of ethical conduct in their dealings with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
We conduct periodic audits or assessments of our programs.

Oversight for Ethical Issues
We take a “tone at the top” approach to the importance of ethics.
We understand that a company is only as ethical as its employees. We believe that the most important and effective way to communicate the importance of ethics and compliance to our employees is to set an effective “tone at the top”, starting with our Board and senior management. We seek to accomplish this by:
- Modeling ethical behavior at the Board and management team level, as well as adopting an open and responsive approach to concerns that are raised by others
- Communicating about ethics and compliance issues frequently, seriously, and openly at all levels of the organization
- Building and maintaining a strong governance and compliance infrastructure for the company
We keep our Board and its committees informed of our compliance objectives several times a year as part of scheduled updates, and more frequently where necessary. The Board and its committees are actively involved in setting compliance priorities, evaluating the company’s assessment of its risk, opportunities, and control environment, and overseeing progress on risk mitigation activities.
We articulate our ethical standards in the Verint Code of Conduct.
All of our employees, officers, and Board members are required to comply with our Code of Conduct. Our Code of Conduct clearly articulates our core values, describes our policies and procedures, and provides our people with guidance on important ethics and compliance issues, including a framework for making good decisions and instructions for communicating areas of concern.
We strive to achieve more complete compliance through training and guidance.
Verint has a broad corporate compliance training program. The core program consists of the following five topics: Code of Conduct, Information Security & Data Privacy, Anti-Bribery / Anti-Corruption, Insider Trading, and Global Trade Compliance. We deliver these trainings to thousands of employees around the world each year and we seek to achieve a 100% completion rate for each training cycle. New employees are required to complete Code of Conduct and other training following commencement of their employment or engagement with us. We also offer trainings in other key areas, including Anti-Harassment and Artificial Intelligence.
