The main idea is that the 1991 Federal Sentencing Guidelines encouraged stronger ethics programs, but they did not eliminate ethical problems in the workplace. The National Business Ethics Survey shows that, even with broader adoption of compliance programs and greater attention to ethics, misconduct and ethical concerns continued to occur and be reported. The guidelines prompted improvements in training, reporting channels, and anti-retaliation protections, leading to progress, but not eradication. So saying that ethical problems were basically eradicated is not supported by what the NBES indicates.
