With the end of the year approaching, a couple of companies have decided to get their compliance house in order.

That was bad news for attorney Christina Hall, LinkedIn's head of human resources, who resigned apparently under pressure over a compliance issue, but good news for attorney Isabelle Gold, who was promoted to chief compliance officer at Apollo Investment Corp., effective Jan. 1.

New York-based Apollo announced Gold's move in a Dec. 4 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Gold was not available for comment Friday.
