I am pleased to announce the release by Corporate Compliance Insights of my new e-book: Moving the Goalposts: The Justice Department Redefines Effective Compliance.  You can download the book here.

Many thanks to the Corporate Compliance Insights Team — Maurice Gilbert, Emily Ellis and Sarah Hadden.  They are an incredible team to work with and it is always a pleasure to partner with Corporate Compliance Insights.

Here is the Foreword to the my new e-book —

“Change is the law of life.  And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” – John F. Kennedy

In one way or another, almost everything I write about can be boiled down to one word: change. Change is good, even when you think it is difficult or bad. When you look back on your life, and if you are able to do so with courage and candor, you will notice the importance of change to your personal and professional development. In fact, as you look back, hopefully you will recognize that change has been a good thing, a positive force in your own life, whether it was overcoming tragedies, finding love, embracing new challenges, or securing accomplishments.

Over the last year, we have witnessed important changes in the compliance profession. In particular, we have witnessed an important evolutionary moment in the growth and influence of compliance. There is no turning back now. The compliance profession demanded recognition, resources and influence, and recently the seeds have been sown to ensure compliance officers get what they want. This is a critical time for the compliance profession, and this book is an attempt to capture the moment, recognize the change and prepare for the future.
