Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook

Technology, Finance, Environmental, and International Guidance and Best Practices

Compliance has emerged from a peripheral concern of auditors and lawyers to an area that encompasses an entire organization as well as its suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. All business managers, from mid-level to executives, need to understandwhat is coming at them in terms of the multitude of compliance initiatives designed to improve transparency in financial reporting and good corporate governance. These initiatives are often confusing, overlapping, and, in some cases, contradictory in nature.

Providing a comprehensive framework for a sustainable governance model, and how to leverage it in competing global markets, Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook presents a very readable overview to the political, regulatory, technical, process, and people considerations in complying with an ever more demanding regulatory environment and achieving good corporate governance.

An invaluable reference tool for CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, COOs, CPOs, and other executives, board members, legal counsel, global compliance officers, managers, and employees, Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook helps business leaders survive and prosper in the global marketplace that has grown at double the rate of production over the last fifteen years.

Featuring contributions from sixty-four industry experts from fifteen different countries, Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook offers an international overview of compliance challengesand thenational and regional guidelines to compliance.

Divided into four parts, the book thoroughly examines:

• The political, regulatory, technology, process, and people aspects of compliance

• National and regional guidelines to compliance, covering Africa, Australia, Canada, China, India, Islamic Nations, Japan, Latin America, Europe, S.E. Asia, and the United States
