Big News: The new book is available for pre-order on Amazon!

We just found out that Amazon.com already has the book up for pre-order! You can order a copy now, and it will be shipped on February 28th.

As is often its way, Amazon.com has discounted the book, so rather than paying the full $29.95, you can pre-order the book now for just $19.77. That's a pretty significant discount (don't worry, we still get just as much from Amazon).

We're very excited to see our book up on Amazon and look forward to the new people it will draw to the field.

So spread the word, and order your copy here!

Big News! A New Installment in the Project

As some of you may know, we have long planned a smaller, more mass market version of the book.

We have just finished looking over the galley proofs of that book, and it goes to press next week.

The new book, Building a Career in Compliance and Ethics: Find your place in the business world's hottest new field, will sell for only $29.95 and will be published next month, February 2007.

It will of course be available through SCCE, but we are not sure yet where else you may be able to get a copy. We will keep you updated.

Below, we have included the Table of Contents of this new book, and next week, we should have up the front and back covers of the book, so be sure to check back then.

Plans for the new year

Things are quiet here again during the holidays, but next week we will be announcing some big news about the Working for Integrity project, so be sure to check back.

Also expect those additional links as promised and some more tidbits from the book and field. We are also discussing beginning some interviews just for the blog with various people in the field. Those interviews would be like the ones in the book, but shorter and more focused. We will post more on this in the future.


Those of you who frequent the news sections of sites like SCCE and ECOA may have already seen this story, but for the rest, take note that China is serious about punishing fraud.


That's all for now, so Happy New Year, and remember, don't drink and email.
