How all start

My name is Alexandre Dalmasso,  I have a law degree specializing in compliance. I started to interact with issues related to ethics and compliance in 2002, but only in 2005 is when I started to work totally dedicated to the topic. In Brazil, the topic called the attention of countless professionals over the past few years with the rampant growth of several training and certification courses, which is a great indicator for a country that has been trying to get rid of the taint of corruption in order to allow the sustained growth of the economy and foster the increase in employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.
