MINNEAPOLIS, July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today's businesses from the U.S. and from across the globe, recognizing the critical value of integrating compliance and ethics programs into their operations, will be represented at the 12^th Annual Compliance & Ethics Institute, the largest all-industry conference designed by and for compliance and ethics professionals. The Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics' (SCCE) Compliance and Ethics Institute, being held October 6-9, 2013, at the Washington Hilton, Washington, DC, is unsurpassed in the scope of the compliance topics addressed.

Increasingly, the conference is also where government turns to both educate the compliance and ethics community and to gain learning for its own compliance efforts. The 2013 Compliance and Ethics Institute will include speakers from the Department of Justice, SEC, FBI, NSA, and even state governments.

"The size and scope of the 2013 Compliance and Ethics Institute speaks to the growth both of the profession and the scope of challenges organizations face," said SCCE CEO Roy Snell. "Just a few years ago compliance and ethics programs were largely reserved for US-based corporations with very high risks. Today, you'll find compliance and ethics programs in virtually every large global organization, and even many small to medium-sized enterprises. And, significantly, even governmental entities have embraced compliance programs to prevent and detect wrongdoing."

The Compliance & Ethics Institute offers attendees more than 100 conference sessions led by 130 well regarded speakers who will forecast trends and offer the latest methods and strategies for developing and improving their compliance programs.

Conference speakers come from a broad range of industries and business to share their common compliance and ethics experience including: McKesson Corporation, Adecco Group North, BNY Mellon, Petco Animal Supplies, BAE Systems, Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, Cisco Systems, Allstate Insurance Company, Greiner Holding plc, GE Capital, GE Energy Management, Alcoa, Paychex, Inc., Tyco, TAMKO Building Products, Sasol Group Services, Molson Coors Brewing Company, Dell, and Deloitte.
