Writing

Vera is the author of books, practical guides, and hundreds of articles on all aspects of ethics, compliance, risk, and governance.

The Changing Role of the Chief Compliance Officer

Vera wrote a closing chapter titled "What's next for seasoned Chief Ethics and Compliance Officers?” for the groundbreaking book, “The Changing Role of the Chief Compliance Officer.”

For board members, executives, and compliance professionals navigating increasingly complex regulatory environments, this essential guide provides the actionable insights needed to transform compliance from a cost centre into a strategic advantage that protects reputation, enhances culture, and creates sustainable value.

The Transnationalization of Anti-Corruption Law

Vera authored a chapter on ‘The Proliferation of International Anti-Corruption Initiatives, Standards, and Guidelines’ in ‘The Transnationalization of Anti-Corruption Law’.

The book presents the perspectives of a global array of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners on the most salient aspects of the global anti-corruption regime.

Corporate Compliance Program

Vera is the author of the first book on compliance in Russian, ‘Corporate Compliance Program’, a hands-on guide for compliance professionals on how to build a first-class compliance program.

Prominent universities across Russian-speaking countries use the book as the main textbook for compliance-related disciplines. It is currently being translated into Kazakh to reach graduate students in this country.

In 2016, the book was shortlisted for the «Business Book of the Year» award at the PWC Business Book Awards.
