For the last few years, criminal compliance has generated a massive flow of legal literature, and Spain is no exception. This article means to contribute to the debate through the author's considerations on four main topics: (i) corporations' criminal auto or hetero-responsibility; (ii) corporate business ethics; (iii) evaluation parameters of the compliance program's efficacy, and (iv) the supervisory body. The above combined with the critical analysis of the recent Spanish General Attorney's Office Circular no. 1/2016 on criminal corporate liability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

On September 20th, 2013, the Cabinet passed the draft amendments to the Criminal Code, which carry out a comprehensive reform of the system of criminal liability of legal persons and include a new offense, consisting of the breach of the duty of supervision or control, whose potential offenders are managers/directors or legal representatives of the legal person. As a consequence, this paper addresses the most significant issues of the current system of criminal liability of legal persons, the main amendments that have been proposed regarding the system, as well as the structure, scope and limits of the new offense that managers of legal persons may commit, which is expected to be included in the new Criminal Code, under article 286.6.
