This book is a must for all companies facing today and tomorrow′s compliance challenge."

"Unbiased, well researched, comprehensive, and interesting.A great resource for compliance professionals and a great read for CEOs, management, and board members who care about doing the right thing. I have been involved with the production of over 150 compliance articles, books, magazines, and newsletters, and Martin′s work is among the best I have seen."
—Roy Snell, CEO, Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics
"Martin slices through the confusion surrounding corporate compliance and offers not only useful guidelines, but a step–by–step approach to establishing an effective program. Building a World–Class Compliance Program is essential for anyone concerned with compliance and ethics within organizations."
