One of the most significant corporate trends has been the rise of the number of compliance officers (COs). No longer shuffled off the back benches, corporate leaders are increasingly relying on COs to proactively promote and implement corporate compliance policies to prepare companies for information security threats, changes in the environmental regulatory landscape and prevent and detect bribery acts. What differentiates a “good” ethics and compliance program from a “great”one?
Join us in the 4th Edition of the European Chamber’s Annual Compliance Conference to stay current on solutions and resources and remain on top of your compliance game.
Participants return to their firms with practical insights and knowledge of best practices to help them maintain a successful compliance program. In addition to meeting and interacting with peers, attendees will hear from a distinguished roster of speakers that includes Compliance Officers, industry professionals and legal experts in China.
