WeComply, Inc., a Thomson Reuters business and leader in web-based ethics and compliance training, has announced an updated version of its Conflict Minerals training course. The course covers the fundamentals of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Conflict Minerals Rule and reflects the April 14, 2014 federal court ruling that limits some of the disclosure requirements.

The course begins with an overview of the Conflict Minerals Rule and an explanation of conflict minerals compliance. The course explores how to determine whether the Rule applies, what employees need to know about conflict minerals in the supply chain, as well as the due-diligence and reporting requirements of the Rule. The course concludes with a discussion of the costs and consequences of non-compliance to companies, employees and officers.

"Our new Conflict Minerals course takes the recent court ruling into account and reflects new guidelines for how companies describe their products in their disclosures to the SEC," said Steve Perreault, Global Head of eLearning. "This course is an important training tool for any company that uses conflict minerals -- or metals derived from them -- in its products or any part of its supply chain."
