Compliance round-upImportant compliance conference to be held in Atlanta next week

We wrote earlier this week about the one-two process which has come to charcaterize many emerging sectors: First, there is a dramatic event (9/11, Katrina, or, on a very different scale, Enron) which leads to a raft of new regulations and strictures, and then, within a few months, there begins to emerge a “compliance industry” — that is, solutions and products which help companies comply with the new regulations. Just think: Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), USA PATRIOT Act, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Anti-Money Laundering, Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Sarbanes-Oxley, and more.

If you are interested in compliance, than you should take a look at Charlotte, North Carolina-based ATTUS Technologies. The company, and other compliance specialists, will be attending the forthcoming ABA Regulatory Compliance Conference in Atlanta, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia on 3-6 June. Last year the event attracted more than 1,400 prime attendees (remeber: here is a growing compliance industry afoot). This year’s conference will address new ways to assess and mitigate compliance risk.

Back to ATTUS Technologies, which will be exhibiting at the event for the first time. Trey Sullivan, founder of ATTUS Technologies, said that “ATTUS will be introducing new and enhanced regulatory compliance products and services to customers and prospective customers alike.”

We will cover the major news from the conference in next week’s issues.
