Today, regulators and LPs have increasingly demanded that GPs actively embrace the challenge of implementing and maintaining a rigorous compliance infrastructure. GPs are increasingly viewing compliance as not a stumbling block, but an opportunity by which they can improve the oversight, governance and management of their firms and funds. By acknowledging the benefits of thorough compliance management in this way, all constituents in the private equity industry can benefit from continued dialogues in this area and improve the industry as a whole.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e--From the Preface\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Jason Scharfman, a leading expert in the field of due diligence, comes an essential resource and guide to developing and managing an ethical and effective compliance program.
