Compliance Insider® Issue 3 Dec 2012–Feb 2013 | Page 4

From the Editor

Towards a “leading
information source”
One of the best things about editing Compliance Insider® is seeing the
growing interest in this young publication.
Now into our third issue, we are still committed to our mission to
provide short, practical articles and information to our readers. We
believe in cutting out the sales-speak from our articles and leaving that
to our competitors.
Our last issue looked at some of the challenges in doing business in the
Middle East, and this issue expands on that with its focus on corruption
in Iraq today.
Many of you have also asked us about industry benchmarking and
what other multinational companies are doing, so we have included
spotlight articles featuring:
how Citrix has integrated due diligence into their existing
partner-management process
the Supreme Group’s practical approach to compliance training using
scenario-based workshops.

This time, our Things to Think About™ series looks at kicking off a
third party due diligence programme. We offer step-by-step guidance
in implementing the programme, from the budget stage all the way to
reporting back to stakeholders.
We hope you enjoy the read, and thanks for your continued support of
Compliance Insider® and The Red Flag Group.
