The Compliance Handbook, 7th Edition

As the Compliance Evangelist, I am pleased to announce the release of The Compliance Handbook, Seventh Edition. I believe it is the best single-author handbook for compliance professionals and about compliance professionals. Beautifully packaged, edited, and published by the country’s top legal and compliance publisher, LexisNexis.

This edition is an update of the Compliance Handbook, 7th edition. The handbook is a must-read for all ethics and compliance professionals. The Seventh Edition provides practical, helpful solutions to important ethics and compliance issues. It is comprehensive, accessible, and a must-have for every ethics and compliance professional.

As noted, I have teamed up with the country’s top legal and compliance publisher, LexisNexis Legal & Professional, to add to its winning series of compliance offerings. The Compliance Handbook, 7th edition, provides seasoned compliance professionals and those new to the profession with practical, actionable guidance and tools to design, implement, and continually enhance a best-practices compliance program. Why the need for this update?

Noted compliance maven Karen Moore said in the book’s foreword.

There is an increasing awareness that compliance and ethics stand at a unique crossroads—the intersection of human behavior and decision-making and of corporate identity, purpose, and mission. We operate at all levels of the organization: we satisfy the board, seek to understand strategy in the C-suite, engage middle managers, and stay relevant to the factory floor and frontline workers. We reconcile the need to defend the enterprise with the need to believe in its individuals. All that, within an increasingly complex landscape of shifting regulations, emerging risk areas, and geopolitical instability.

The Compliance Handbook, 7th edition, provides an in-depth look at the latest thinking and trends for the full range of critical compliance topics, including:

  • Compliance and business ventures;
  • Third-party risk management
  • The Board’s Role in Compliance
  • Continuous improvement;
  • Compliance innovation; and
  • And much more.

The Compliance Handbook, 7th edition, also takes a close look at the roles of all professionals with compliance responsibility, from Compliance Officers and Boards of Directors to Human Resources, Internal Audit and Internal Controls, and Communications and Training professionals. Understanding compliance responsibilities across the organization remains a key theme for both the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In this 6th edition, I expand on the concepts articulated in previous editions for operationalizing your compliance program.

What’s new for the 7th edition?

  • Key compliance enforcement actions, DOJ pronouncements, and all things compliance from 2025;
  • The revised section on the use of AI in a best practices compliance program.
  • The significant revisions to the chapter on data analytics, and
  • Looking forward to compliance in 2030 and beyond.

The Compliance Handbook, 7th edition, incorporates the most current government pronouncements governing best practices compliance programs, including the 2024 Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs; the new DOJ whistleblower initiative; ideas on innovation in compliance training, data, and its use in improving and maintaining corporate culture; the continued evolution of AI in compliance; and much more.
