"We should not forget that compliance is a management function, regardless of the industry. It can be framed in different ways. I place compliance squarely in the frame of enterprise risk management. It's not about ethics, per se. It's about keeping the firm in a position to pursue its primary missions without painful disruptions. Avoiding painful disruptions is the domain of risk management. Everything I do for my clients I do from within that frame."
