Value of CCOs at board level

Value of CCOs at board level: to convince how governance, risk and compliance management can improve bottom line.

Extract from Corruption, Crime & Compliance Blog – Michael Volkov:

Chief Compliance Officers are basically optimists.  In the face of a mountain of worst case scenarios (typically referred to as “risks”), CCOs keep smiling and work incredibly hard.  They are “religious” zealots in business clothing.  CCOs indoctrinate their staff to fight the same cause and they spread the word on the importance of ethics and compliance.
