Well, Compliance Week seems to have touched a nerve with news of the latest speaker for our annual conference this spring: Congressman Barney Frank.
As some of you might have seen already, earlier this week we sent out a mass email announcing that Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, will be the keynote speaker at our conference (May 24-26, in Washington, D.C.). We consider this good news. Corporate compliance officers, internal auditors, financial reporting executives and boards of directors are all awaiting a tectonic overhaul of corporate governance in this country. Since Frank is, you know, the person pushing the legislation through Congress, we decided it would be useful to give Compliance Week readers a chance to hear his thoughts on the matter and ask him a few questions.
