The Compliance Week 2014 conference happens this week, and as usual we’ll have more than 500 compliance officers, audit executives, regulators, and other leading thinkers talking shop on all things ethics & compliance. Check our website frequently for the latest updates, since we’ll be posting lots of them. Meanwhile, as always, here are my personal picks for what should be the most interesting or most important sessions we have. (Given how strong our agenda is, choosing only a handful is not easy.)
Corporate Culture as a Top-Level Control. Almost every compliance officer I encounter these days tells me that the biggest challenge you all face—the thing that’s most important to master but also hardest to master—is culture. If you have good corporate culture and a workforce that thinks about ethics, your compliance and regulatory obligations become much easier to fulfill. Defining and achieving a strong corporate culture, however, especially at large organizations, can drive a CCO crazy.
