If you’re going to read one book at the start of this year to improve your understanding of the world and the compliance professional’s role in it, read The Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver. It’s been on the best seller list since its debut last September, and I finally opened a copy the other day. Before I finished even Chapter 1, I could see why the book has been so popular, and why it can be so useful for those of us who make a living in the corporate compliance world.
