The Forgotten Crisis:
The compliance professional of yesterday, today and tomorrow
Webcast to be held on Thursday, February 25, 2010 at 11am EST / 4pm GMT.
When it comes to professional services, compliance practitioners are considered the new kids in town. Due to the current financial environment, compliance is no longer viewed as a part–time role performed by in–house counsel, auditors and accountants. The discipline of compliance has progressed into a genuine career path requiring essential skill sets.
Is this a pattern that will continue, and how should compliance professionals prepare for the future?
Thanks to the growing number of regulations in the global financial services arena and the fallout from newsworthy corporate failures, the compliance professional's role has been thrust into the spotlight.
Please join Complinet and Ann Oglanian, President and CEO of ReGroup LLC, for a Webinar presentation in which she will speak on a wide range of issues relevant to the evolution of the compliance professional.
Among the topics that Ann will address in this live broadcast on Thursday, February 25 at 11:00 a.m. EST will be:
- Where is the compliance profession today and how it got there.
- The 3 things that CCOs must do right now to keep up with regulatory developments and enhanced scrutiny of their work.
- What to expect in the future, including the ongoing debate regarding a professional designation for CCOs, and the relationship between CCOs and directors and officers of firms.
A Recovery without Reform
Webcast held on Thursday, January 28, 2010 at 11am EST / 4pm GMT.
As the signs of recovery begin to take shape, the recent financial crisis could quickly become a distant memory. After Lehman collapsed in September 2008, governments stepped in to bail out institutions that were supposed to be too big to fail. In providing relief to these failing global firms, it has been argued that the bailout effort has actually promoted an ‘artificial recovery.’
The system seems to have bounced back, along with the risk-taking. Stocks are trading higher, consumers are spending and bonuses are being paid out. So, could the window of opportunity to reform a teetering financial system and change irresponsible behavior in firms be closing?
The reality is that another crash is inevitable unless the right regulatory reforms and new compliance processes are adopted. Investors, market players and policy makers need to recognize the potential for another cataclysm, and understand that history will judge whether we collectively seized the opportunity to redefine the foundation of the financial system. This series will explore the dangers and the opportunities ahead.
