I gather these bits of information from LinkedIn, news alerts, and friends emailing me something to include. If you have a tip to pass along, email me at [email protected] or find me on LinkedIn. This report depends on people like you helping me, so send some news!

Tweet of the Week
And we launch a new feature today: our Tweet of the Week, to call out something interesting going on in corporate compliance. This week we give a shout to Roy Snell, head of the Society of Corporate Compliance & Ethics. Snell led a contingent of U.S. compliance professionals to Sarajevo, for the first-ever SCCE compliance academy in the Balkans.
