In light of our work in the White Paper on the separation of legal and compliance,  we thought we would share the two articles by Gabe Shawn Varges, Board Member and Former Chairman of Ethics and Compliance Switzerland.

The first article, entitled “Working with the Chief Compliance Officer: A New CEO Skill”, argues that CEOs have long known how to work with the General Counsel, but most CEOs are still trying to figure out how to interact with the CCO.

The second article, entitled “Engaging with the CCO”,  advances the argument to the Board level.  It provides tips to Board members on how to engage with the CCO as part of the Board’s oversight duty of compliance.

The first article “Enganging with the Chief Compliance Officer: A New CEO Skill” can be found here. The second article can be read following the link “Engaging with the CCO”
