Still Wildly Effective: A look at the updated edition of ‘How to Be a Wildly Effective Compliance Officer’
Ten years ago, when the virus we feared was Zika and artificial intelligence was a dream of the founders of a new nonprofit called OpenAI, books in the compliance field focused almost exclusively on the law and technical issues.
AI, finance and the new compliance mandate in APAC
A new report tells a story that compliance professionals should read carefully. While the report focuses on finance leaders across Asia Pacific, the real lesson for compliance is much broader: artificial intelligence is no longer a future-state technology discussion.

Technoethics: The corporate responsibility gap leaders can’t ignore
As AI adoption accelerates, organizations are quietly deprioritizing the very safeguards that keep them compliant — creating governance blind spots, regulatory exposure, and stakeholder trust gaps that compound faster than most leaders realize. Compliance teams don’t have to wait for the consequences to hit: implement the following concrete steps to put technoethics back at the center of AI strategy.
A framework for human-accountable automation in vendor oversight
Artificial Intelligence is accelerating the oversight of third parties, allowing for faster workflows, more consistency and more scalable decision-making. It may also help reinforce ethical standards by making certain checks more systematic.
