Compliance Jobs News

Bob Hirth is stepping down as chairman of COSO, the group that publishes frameworks for internal control, enterprise risk management, and similar issues. Hirth’s departure is no surprise; COSO published its new ERM framework earlier this month, and Hirth had said that would be his last hurrah. Hirth has been chairman of COSO since June 2013 and done a fine job.

Yes, this also means COSO is recruiting a new chair; apply now, all you GRC thought gurus.
