Sales is a CEO's job, or at least it should be. But many entrepreneurs and managers come from other disciplines such as legal, production or product marketing – or they may have inherited the business. In most companies, a sales director is responsible for the operational management of the sales department. However, sales also need to be considered strategically, in terms of the business, the products or even the target market, for which many entrepreneurs or sales managers unfortunately lack the time or even the knowledge. In this book, experienced interim managers reveal the most important and necessary strategic methods and approaches to maintain and lead competitiveness for years to come. Readers will benefit from the first-hand insights of prominent and internationally experienced interim managers such as Ulvi Aydin, Uwe Brüggemann, Michael Eckardt, Ulrich Girrbach, Elmar Gorich, Ralf Komor, Peter Kuhle, Siegfried Lettmann, Thomas Mertens, Stephan Rohe, Rainer Simmoleit and Stefan Zeiss. Practitioners and MBA students in particular will benefit from these insights into what makes strategic sales management successful.

In recent years, revelations of grand corruption and the plunder of state assets have led to greater scrutiny of financial relationships with politically exposed persons (PEPs) senior government officials and their family members and close associates. Notwithstanding the efforts by many financial institutions and regulatory authorities to prevent corrupt PEPs from entering and using the financial system to launder the proceeds of corruption, there has been an overall failure in the effective implementation of international standards on PEPs. Implementation of an effective PEP regime is a critical component in the prevention and detection of transfers of proceeds of crime and, therefore, ultimately in the process of recovering them. 'Politically Exposed Persons: Preventive Measures for the Banking Sector' is designed to help banks and regulatory authorities address the risks posed by PEPs and prevent corrupt PEPs from using domestic and international financial systems to launder the proceeds of corruption. The book provides recommendations and good practices aimed at improving compliance with international standards and increasing supervisory effectiveness. It is an important tool for individuals, governments, financial and private sector companies, and international organizations involved in developing and implementing standards aimed at fighting corruption and money laundering, and trying to recover stolen assets and the proceeds of corruption.
