Compliance and Ethics Executives from Leading U.S. Companies Address Key Compliance, Business Conduct and Governance Issues

In light of corporate wrongdoings and scandal-grabbing headlines, public distrust continues to climb. To ensure compliance with state and federal regulations, record numbers of corporations are now appointing chief compliance officers and ethics and business conduct professionals to develop and oversee corporate compliance programs. In fact, Christian & Timbers placed Chief Compliance Officer third in its Top 10 Hot Jobs of 2005.
As companies are struggling to understand and employ corporate compliance initiatives, the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE) is offering a forum for discussion and a panel of expert speakers at the 2005 Corporate Compliance Workshops in four U.S. cities.
