An increasing number of chief compliance officers report directly on a monthly basis to the Chief Executive Officer.  As the compliance profession has earned independence and empowerment, CCOs are now part of the C-Suite and need to develop a positive relationship with the CEO to support the company’s ethics and compliance program.

In doing so, CCOs need to ask themselves two important questions: (1) what type of CEO does the company have?; and (2) how should the CCO position the ethics and compliance program to gain the maximum support from the CEO?

In this episode, Michael Volkov discusses strategies for a CCO to maximize the CEO’s support of the company’s ethics and compliance program.
