Sad news for the compliance community: James McGrath, author of the Internal Investigations blog and one of the more voluble and entertaining voices in this field, died this week of a heart attack.
McGrath was a regular on the compliance conference circuit, including Compliance Week’s own annual conference for many years. I could always count on Jim to see me first, give a hearty “Hey, how you doing?” from across the hotel lobby, and follow up with a bone-crushing handshake. We would inevitably end up at the hotel bar with other regulars such as Compliance Week columnist Tom Fox, Jay Rosen from Merrill Corp., and a rotating other list of folks who just liked to talk shop over a good drink.
