You are the compliance officer at the hospital in the case below. Discuss your concerns, if any. Then discuss how you might address the issue.

We Merged . . . Now What? Earlier this month, your company, a running equipment designer and manufacturer called Runners Paradise, merged with a smaller clothing design company called ActiveLeak.
