Compliance and ethics professionals now have an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and expertise in the practice of corporate compliance. The Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE) announced recently the details of its certification program which will provide Certified Compliance & Ethics Professional certification to individuals associated with the compliance and ethics profession.

According to Christian and Timbers and smartmoney.com the compliance and ethics professional is one of the top 10 hottest jobs in the country. ?Gaining respect and recognition for this new profession is dependant largely on how we develop and manage our profession,? said Roy Snell, SCCE Chief Executive Officer.

?We are now poised to accomplish one of the most important steps in the maturation of our profession?a professional credential for compliance and ethics professionals across all industries,? said Snell.

The SCCE offered the first opportunity to take the Certified Compliance & Ethics Professional (CCEP) certification examination on September 14, 2006, with more than 100 compliance professionals taking the exam. This professional certification will give individuals from all industries the platform to demonstrate their knowledge and expertise in compliance and ethics.

Eligibility and other details:
Those eligible to sit for the exam must fulfill the requirements outlined in the CCEP Candidate Handbook, which is available on the SCCE Web Site at: http://www.corporatecompliance.org/CCEP/CCEP_2006_handbook.pdf

One year ago, the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics began the development of a professional certification for compliance and ethics professionals in all industries. ?The credential?Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional (CCEP)?is designed to help the professional demonstrate individual knowledge and expertise. Odell Guyton, Global Compliance Officer for Microsoft and Chair of the SCCE Advisory Board, has enlisted the assistance of compliance and ethics professionals from organizations such as Radio Shack, DuPont, Eddie Bauer, the University of Louisville, Holland and Knight, Brown McCarroll, SAP Public Services, MediRegs, The Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Foley and Lardner, Tenet Healthcare, and many others,? added Snell.

Background
The process to develop this certification program has gone through several steps, the first being the development and completion of a job analysis survey. The Job Analysis Committee met in June 2005 to create the job analysis survey. In January, enough responses to the survey had been received to deem the results statistically valid. Members of the Job Analysis Committee met again in March to review the survey results and determine the examination detailed content outline.

In the next step, a test development committee, which represented a variety of industries, met in April 2006 to create the questions that are used in the certification exam based on the detailed content outline developed by the Job Analysis Committee.

CCE Professional: The CCEP is a professional with knowledge of relevant regulations and expertise in compliance processes sufficient to assist corporate industries to understand and address legal obligations and promote organizational integrity through the operation of effective compliance programs.
