From the Editor
Welcome to the first edition
of the quarterly publication,
Compliance Insider.
I have been asked by team members and several key clients why we
are creating a publication, and why now, and the answers to these
questions are pretty straightforward: our clients, and the breadth of
work the firm has undertaken over the past twelve months.
In 2011, The Red Flag Group launched a series of Roundtables in
the USA, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East to create a forum
for leaders in the industry to discuss best practice. The resounding
and reoccurring feedback from these sessions was the need to
share best practice from a practical and global perspective due to
the complex and evolving issues facing compliance professionals
working for multinational companies. Over the past year our
work has taken us from Mongolia to Brazil, China to Iraq, giving
us a unique insight on these challenging and difficult regions of
the world. The aim of Compliance Insider is to share insight from
industry leaders and our experience of being out there in the field,
as well as to cover changes in compliance regulations.
This issue will look at regulatory issues from the UK, India and
China; insight from industry leaders such as Stacey Babson-Smith,
Vice President and Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer at Terex and
Refki El-Mujtahed, General Counsel of Arabtec; and introduce our
CI series, “Things To Think About™”.
We look forward to your feedback and kicking off the global
dialogue for compliance leaders.
