Defining & Recognizing Excellence in Ethics & Compliance

To date, our definition of “effectiveness” when it comes to E&C has largely been defined by regulators, legislators, and enforcement agencies. Yet members of the E&C profession know best what program practices make the biggest difference in our organizations. It’s time for us to set the bar for ourselves. 

IMPACT 2024 is the launch of a new effort by our industry to define, measure, and recognize excellence in E&C. In our opening session, Pat will tell you more about this important new initiative and what to expect throughout the event.

This session is not only a chance for our Presenting Sponsor, KPMG, to welcome you to the Lakehouse; it is an opportunity for you to learn how the firm thoughtfully utilizes the facility as part of its effort to build and sustain a strong ethical culture.
