Executive Compensation Controversy Rages, SCCE to Determine What Role
Compliance and Ethics Play

How Executives and Employees are evaluated and paid is the topic of a survey
currently being conducted by the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics
and the Health Care Compliance Association

MINNEAPOLIS, May 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Companies say that they want
their employees to do the right thing, but are they rewarding good behavior
and punishing bad behavior? The Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics
(SCCE) and its sister association, the Health Care Compliance Association
(HCCA) are conducting a survey to learn if compliance and ethics play a role
in how executives and employees are evaluated and paid.

"Now is the time to get a better handle on where organizations stand versus
industry as a whole," said SCCE/HCCA Chief Executive Officer Roy Snell. "Are
performance metrics taking into account ethical, compliant behavior?"

of topical surveys of its members and have gained important insight into the
current state of compliance and ethics concerns through these studies. Past
survey topics include Corporate Gifts and Entertainment Policies, Third-Party
Risk Management, and the Risk of Legal and Ethical Violations.
