• Description
• The issue is recognized among
  those who are in the compliance role, yet the
  topic borders on the political line within and
  organization's hierarchy. Professionals often
  must learn to "face the music" or "play the
  politics" even though their ethical and moral
  code tells them something should be changed.
• The compliance profession has
  emerged as one of the critical job roles in
  corporate America. The ongoing onslaught of
  legislation and regulatory guidelines in every
  industry has heightened the need for
  professionals who can effectively and efficiently
  develop and manage strong compliance programs. In
  the past, these roles were often considered the
  responsibility of professionals whose vital
  included legal or audit experience. In today's
  world, professionals from a multitude of
  disciplines have found themselves in positions of
  compliance responsibilities.

• Why Should you Attend
• Sooner or later, every compliance
  professional will face situations and scenarios
  where they feel their independence and
  objectivity related to an issue may be impaired.
  They may feel pressured by management to minimize
  their report finding or in some cases, look the
  other way. When this occurs they are faced with
  the dilemma of "what do I do" or "how do I handle
  this situation".  These are the
  types of situations that our University programs
  do not prepare us for. Experience can often be
  the best teacher. However, all individuals should
  be armed with some basic concepts that will
  prepare them to choose the right path when such
  difficult situations occur.
