This Guest Column is one in a series of first-hand accounts written by senior executives at U.S. public companies. The goal of the column is to provide “lessons learned” during the implementation of various governance and compliance programs. To be considered as the author of a future column, public company executives should email the editor of Compliance Week. Only public company executives will be considered; partners at law firms or accounting firms, or executives at companies that market products or services to the compliance/governance markets, will not be considered.
