JUBILEE COMPLIANCE FORUM

On 26th of September 2014, EICE - European Institute for Compliance and Ethics was entered in the Register. This marks the very emergence of an organized and multi-sectoral professional community for compliance and business ethics in Slovenia. We feel extremely proud and responsible that the members of EISEP have trusted us for 10 years, that the Institute can be a hub for the creation and exchange of knowledge and practices in this field, and that together with you we are a driving force for the professionalization, development and establishment of the profession and the function of business compliance and corporate integrity in our country. Without you, we would not have the stability and substance that the Institute needs. You give us new, topical themes and opportunities for convergence, which is why we are all growing together.

Thank you also to other users of our professional services and training, our partners, ICA – International Compliance Association, ENFCO – European Network for Compliance Officers, The Manager's' Association of Slovenia, as well as some of the mainstream media, to consider us as a point of reference on many topics and issues in the field of compliance and business ethics in Slovenia and across borders!
