Dr. Verschoor brings into focus the intertwined impact of risk management, internal controls, and ethics on oversight responsibilities for both the audit committee and the entire board of directors. From my personal perspective as an audit committee member and as a director of both profit and nonprofit entities, this book should be required reading for corporate management, boards of directors, and their committees." -- George K.

Over the last few years, the subject of ethics and compliance in organizations of various kinds and sizes has greatly increased in visibility and importance for practitioners of governance, their advisors and mentors, for monitors of ethics and compliance processes, and for those responsible for oversight. The parade of business scandals and ethical lapses that has seemed to continue without significant letup has led to continued legislative and regulatory mandates for improved governance practices. Practitioners of internal auditing, as significant components of governance processes, and also persons in related fields, need to be particularly aware of all developments affecting organizational ethics and compliance. Members of audit committees, corporate counsel, and external auditors should also be knowledgeable about matters concerning ethics and compliance, as their responsibilities in ethics and compliance are also increasing.
