Whistleblowing - Are You Getting the Help You Need?
Monday, 29th April 2013
Reportedly there is now unprecedented awareness of anti-corruption regulation but the UK fraud prevention service finds that the incidence of whistleblowing is still exceptionally low.

Meanwhile consultation is underway on ways to better protect whistleblowers. This could present opportunities for information professionals to have their say and cement their place in their organisation’s risk and compliance function.

Nothing is Certain Except Death, Taxes... and Compliance
Monday, 14th January 2013
Even when times are tough, opportunities continue in regulatory compliance.

There's evidence, too, that some of this is being brought in-house.
