Parting Thoughts on Compliance Week 2010

Matt Kelly May 31, 2010

Well, the Compliance Week 2010 conference is now done and fading into history. The event was excellent, and credit belongs to all the attendees, speakers and helpers who altogether made our 2010 conference the largest and most successful we’ve ever had.

Matt Kelly May 23, 2010

Well, it’s that time of year again: The Compliance Week annual conference.This is our fifth year holding an annual conference, and somewhat to my amazement, we genuinely do have the best lineup in our brief history.

Previewing Compliance Week 2010

Matt Kelly March 04, 2010

Pre-gaming Compliance Week 2009

Matt Kelly June 02, 2009

Compliance Week’s annual conference happens in Washington, D.C., this week, and promises to be an information-packed event as usual. This is always my favorite week of the year—not just because the bar in the lobby of the Mayflower Hotel is legendary (although that helps), but also because this conference is...

Best Practices for Internal Investigations

Matt Kelly April 20, 2009

All right, we’re going to say it: Occasionally prosecutors go overboard.This is a big admission for Compliance Week, because like good reporters everywhere, we tend to be cynical people. When we hear the word “indicted” we assume “guilty” and wonder when the person in question will resign. Lately, however, we’ve seen...
