The Ethics & Compliance Officer Association (ECOA) is a non-consulting, member-driven association exclusively for individuals who are responsible for their organization's ethics, compliance, and business conduct programs. The only organization of its kind, it is the largest group of business ethics and compliance practitioners in the world.
The ECOA brings together people who are new to the field, as well as those with years of experience to share. Through the ECOA, practicing ethics and compliance officers address the tough issues they face every day. Members learn from one another and, in turn, help to foster a global commitment to ethics and integrity. The collegiality of ECOA members has been our strength and the principal source of our ability to create a trusting and frank environment for all. We draw value from the diversity of cultures and industries represented among our members and from the sincerity and character of our colleagues.
The ECOA is a non-profit, 501(c)(6) association, which derives all of its revenue from members' dues, conferences and other meeting fees, and financial contributions.
