Simply use the form below to submit a question or “burning issue” that keeps you up at night. We'll make sure the question gets answered at the conference. All submissions will be confidential and anonymous, and some “burning issues” will be published in the conference booklet at Compliance Week 2010. Submissions will also be incorporated into sessions, panels, Conversations, and keynote addresses. So tell us the “burning issues” that you and your companies are facing, or throw a question out to our speakers:




“We need help with: 1) Developing a code of conduct training that is reflective of company cultur; 2) Innovative approaches to risk assessment; 3) Running E&C programs in compliance with international data protection/privacy standards.”

“To SEC Commissioner [Luis Aguilar]: What is the penalty for not documenting and testing controls under Section 404(a) which has been required for all companies with years ending after Dec 15, 2007? What is the status of legislation related to SOX 404(b) requirements for small registrants? and why does Congress think that sending a message that internal control over financial reporting is not a good thing is beneficial for the U.S. capital markets or its investors?”

“Questions for Barney Frank: What role did the democratic goal of everyone owning their own home contribute to the subprime mortgage crisis? In restrospect what, if anything, would you have done differently to avoid the subprime mortgage crisis? Do you think Congress should revisit the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act?”

“What does a 'well-documented' company-wide compliance program consist of, what are the critcal elements of a well-documented compliance program, and are there any good examples of such a well documented program?”

“We need detailed guidance on how compliance management systems and risk management systems can be audited, what kind of assurance auditors can give, how and to whom they can report on this.”

“We are a multinational company with numerous financial account and signers—I need a way to manage all this data that reduces fraud, enhances compliance, and increases efficiences.”

“I need examples of social-media policies that have been put in place by the compliance, legal, or HR departments at large multinational companies.”

“We expect to purchase a GRC platform in 2010. It would be great to hear some war stories from others who have already deployed such systems.”

“I'm tracking low-risk ‘improper payments’ that will not likely impact financials materially. Could use comps on global thresholds, policies, etc.”
