We’ve just about nailed down the final planks of the Compliance Week 2011 annual conference, which gets underway three weeks from today. So I’d like to give you all an update of what’s to come—and why it will be worth your coming to see and participate, as well.
First, we’ve secured a great lineup of keynote speakers who hail from all across the wide range of perspectives on corporate compliance and governance. Jay Hanson, new member of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, will speak about the PCAOB’s efforts to revive its role in the regulatory world—which, I suspect, are going to be more potent than most people currently realize. Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, will talk about current enforcement priorities. One of his priorities seems to be investigating half of Wall Street for insider trading; I’m eager to hear how else he plans to keep corporate legal departments busy.
