I had the good fortune to spend last week in Buenos Aires, enjoying the local parrilla cuisine, but more importantly, also attending the first-ever Latin American Congress on Ethics,Transparency, and Anti-Corruption. The conference was hugely informative and eye-opening for an americano like me; too often, compliance officers perched here in Corporate America, headquarters for the global economy, forget how our missives and instructions appear to deputies inother parts of the world. What’s more, โ€œother parts of the worldโ€ is typically short-hand for โ€œAsia.โ€ 

Allow me, then, to report some dispatches from Latin America.
