 Reviews

"For those who benefited from reading Martin’s first book, Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control, you now have the ‘Atlas’ on ethics and compliance. The compliance insights, poignant case studies, and best practices provide a significant value-added for executives who must set the ‘tone at the top’ and for those who struggle day-to-day to establish and maintain ethical and compliant behavior within their organizations. A must-read for faculty and particularly students, for whom the lessons so expertly presented here will shape the ethical compass of future careers."—George E. Curtis, J.D. Associate Professor and former Director of Economic Crime Programs, Utica College

"Building a World-Class Compliance Program is essential reading for in-house executives of all stripes. Boards, management, legal counsel, HR, and compliance officers all will find this ‘how to’ guide filled with practical advice and tips. For all people interested in how to avoid their company becoming the next Enron, this book is a must-read. It chronicles real-life examples of corporate malfeasance ripped from the headlines and offers sage measures to enhance corporate compliance programs so as to detect and deter such conduct. Given the expertise of the author—with years of experience in both law enforcement and in-house compliance—this is the preeminent guide to corporate fraud prevention."—Andrew Weissmann, Partner, Jenner & Block and former director, U.S. Department of Justice Enron Task Force
