The Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE) is a nonprofit, individual membership association which provides resources for ethics and compliance professionals from various industries. It serves over 5,500 members through publications, education programs, conferences and professional networking, including an online social network called SCCEnet, which has over 14,000 registered users.[3] SCCE also helps individuals become Certified Compliance and Ethics Professionals.

The first National Symposium on Corporate Responsibility: Compliance & Ethics Programs was held on November 21-22, 2002, sponsored by the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA) in association with Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, Washington. The conference drew 100 attendees from some of the top corporations in the nation including DuPont, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Amazon.com, Boeing, Starbucks, the University of Texas and many more. The keynote speaker was William C. Powers Jr. who served as Chairman of the Special Investigative Committee of the Board of Directors of Enron Corporation.

Requests for a second Symposium were answered in 2003. More than 250 attendees filled the room to hear speakers such as James Sheehan, Associate United States Attorney for Civil Programs; Ron James, CEO, Center for Ethical Business Cultures; Honorable Michael E. Horowitz, Commissioner, United States Sentencing Commission; and Colleen Rowley, Special Agent, Federal Bureau of Investigation. Their mission was clear, there needed to be a forum for business professionals working in the compliance and ethics field.

The Compliance and Ethics Institute [4] now attracts approximately 1500 attendees annually and the SCCE has grown to over 5,500 members.
