Corporate Compliance & Ethics Forum

Setting a Tone at the Top and Creating a Culture of Corporate Integrity

With tremendous post-recession pressure to increase profits, today’s top companies are seeking new ways to expand their business into new and emerging markets even as they continue to support existing operations. But the most promising opportunities often come with the highest degree of risk, which is increasing with a proliferation of regulatory requirements and ever harsher penalties for non-compliance. With a highly effective and robust compliance program in place, global organizations can substantially reduce exposure to unnecessary risk and ensure that they meet specific business objectives and performance goals no matter where they have a presence. Aside from strong internal controls and other key policies aimed at protecting the brand and sustaining corporate value, it is equally critical that companies place an even greater emphasis on the role of the Chief Compliance Officer, for it is his or her mission to set the tone at the top and to foster a truly proactive—rather than reactive—culture of compliance where ethical behavior is embedded in every business decision.

Consero's 2012 Corporate Compliance & Ethics Forum will address the current and looming challenges facing chief compliance officers, providing an opportunity to share best practices, benchmark their efforts, and explore strategies for 2012 and beyond.
