By Adam Turteltaub It's time to think bigger when it comes to helpline data.  Yes, it's still important to look at traditional metrics such as the number of calls and the substantiation rate.  But, there is so much more that can be done. Justin Ross, Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer at Sysco and Carrie Penman, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at NAVEX will be addressing what you can do with your helpline data during their 2025 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute session “Numbers That Matter:  Moving Beyond Hotline Data to Identify and Build an Ethical Workplace.” For one, they encourage compliance officers to think about whom they are sharing the data with.  What the board, management and others will want to see is likely to be different. As a result, it's important to tailor your reporting accordingly. Second, they argue in this podcast that it's important to not just look at the data reactively.  Instead, think proactively and use it as a way to identify where there are issues to be addressed, either now or potentially in the future. The data can also provide a window into the culture of the organization as a whole, as well as the differences by region or even office.  This approach can help you better understand your risks and where you need to address potential problems. Some of the data they suggest using is: Outcomes of allegations: are they leading to discipline and is it consistent Retaliation issues Substantiation rates Patterns of employee vs. non-employee reports Number of days between allegation and conclusion of investigation Number of days between incident and helpline call Be sure, too, to look at the helpline data in concert with other data your organization has such as employee turnover, exit interviews, culture surveys, audit results and more. In sum, to get the most out of your helpline data, think about all the data that you have, what it can tell about the past and present, how it can guide the future and what's the best way to share it with each of your audiences. Listen in to learn more, and plan on joining them for the 2025 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute.

Cricket also emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, particularly in a new, challenging role.

By Adam Turteltaub As important as gaining access to the board is, using that time properly is even more crucial. Becky Rohr, Chief Compliance Officer and head of Investigations at Ericsson, will be sharing her insights and advice on this topic in her session “Board Reporting, Not Bored Reporting: Presenting to Boards and Other Senior Stakeholders by Using Data and Storytelling” at the 2025 SCCE Annual Compliance & Ethics Institute in Nashville. In this podcast and preview of her session, she advises that, even before entering the boardroom it's important to take the time to know your audience. Talking to the board, a board committee or senior executives is different since each has its own priorities. Be sure that what you say and show them speaks directly to their role. Remember, too, that the board is focused on the organization as a whole. She cautions that the board will feel obligated to read anything you send it. So, be sure to avoid overwhelming them and to focus on the larger issues that could materially affect the organization. When presenting data, don't just give them the raw numbers. Prepare a concise analysis that tells them what those numbers mean and what the key takeaways are. She found that a slide showing opportunities, challenges, highlights and lowlights in a simple quadrant graphic can be particularly useful. Dashboards, too, can be valuable, so long as every light on it isn't green. That's bound to raise suspicions. Take the time, too, to anticipate what questions they are likely to ask. She warns that boards tend to want to know how the organization stacks up against its industry peers. So, be sure to take the time to benchmark.

What is the price of doing the right thing? Is it a promotion? Your career? The fate of an entire town? Today, we bring you a story that lives at the intersection of profit and principle. It's called “The Ethics Audit.” Meet Ethan Vance. A former EPA investigator, he's just landed his dream job: Chief Compliance Officer at Precision Parts, a respected manufacturer that is the lifeblood of its community. The CEO, Marcus Thorne, is a local hero who says he wants to be the “gold standard” of corporate responsibility. He's hired Ethan to be his watchdog. But when a vague tip in the local paper hints at environmental wrongdoing, Thorne tasks Ethan with an internal audit to prove the company's innocence. What Ethan uncovers, however, is not a clean bill of health. He finds a trail of falsified records, a shady shell corporation, and a secret that leads to a dead, poisoned patch of earth on the edge of town. The conspiracy isn't the work of some rogue employee. It's a calculated business decision, engineered from the very top to save the company during a tough quarter. Suddenly, Ethan isn't just a compliance officer; he's the sole witness to a crime. He is offered a choice: a massive promotion and a corner office in exchange for his silence, or a lonely, devastating path as a whistleblower. In this gripping narrative, we explore the slippery slope of corporate malfeasance, the immense pressure of leadership, and the staggering personal cost of integrity. Join us for “The Ethics Audit,” a story that asks a question every professional may one day have to face: When your loyalty to the company conflicts with your loyalty to the law, which side do you choose?

By Adam Turteltaub Joint ventures are created to capitalize on a business opportunity, but they come with challenges. Each partner may have a different experience with or attitude towards compliance. They may have distinctly different cultures, and, in the worst case, may each be expecting the other to be watching compliance when, in fact, no one is. Hassan Chaudry, a member of the SCCE & HCCA Board and Chief Compliance Officer of POSCO JV, a General Motors joint venture, recommends several keys to success in JVs. First, having meaningful conversations with leadership right at the start is important, especially if it is face-to-face. This helps establish rapport and makes top management more comfortable with the role of compliance. Look to commonalities between the partners, not just the difference. In his case, with one party being from North America and the other from South Korea, there were different approaches and laws, but both countries are members of the OECD, and its guidance for compliance programs provided a common reference point. Once the groundwork is set, take the time to meet with employees from senior and middle management, as well as the front line. Also, don't forget the board: setting expectations with them and building an ongoing line of communication is essential. He also recommends treating the JV like a start-up, not an established company. Finally, put yourself in the shoes of joint venture partners. Look at the business from their perspective, and that will help you better understand what will make for a truly successful compliance program.

Chris made the leap from biotech to fintech when he founded CoinStructive back in 2015. Since then he's worked for crypto financial institutions and has helped hundreds of people track down crypto lost to scams, hacks, and yes, hidden in divorce. If crypto feels confusing, secretive, or even a little bit shady to you, you're not alone. But as Chris explains, the blockchain is actually built on transparency. So once you know what to look for, it becomes a powerful tool for uncovering hidden assets.  In this conversation, we break down what crypto really is, how it shows up in divorce, and what steps you can take if you suspect it's being used to conceal money. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: What cryptocurrency is and why understanding how it works is so important in the context of divorce (3:29) What the hell is the blockchain?? (4:56) Why crypto can be risky in divorce: people often forget that it's not just about gains, but losses too (21:26) Red flags that might signal your spouse is hiding crypto (think unexplainable withdrawals, hardware wallets, or sketchy apps) (24:56) How crypto investigations actually work and why they're often more successful than you'd think (44:49) Learn more about Chris Groshong: Chris Groshong is a Certified Fraud Investigator who focuses on helping victims of cryptocurrency scams. He is also the Chief Compliance Officer for several crypto financial institutions including Bitcoin ATM operators, OTC exchanges, Wallet operators, DeFi platforms and more.

Episode 098: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Carrie King, Partner and Chief Compliance Officer at UlImann Wealth Partners. A former restaurateur turned finance professional, Carrie brings a service-driven mindset to wealth management—prioritizing simplicity, optimism, and disciplined planning. With over two decades of experience spanning hedge funds, trading desks, and advisory firms, she now helps lead a holistic, client-centered practice that supports families through life's most complex transitions. Kyle and Carrie discuss how Ullman supports clients through these transitions by staying grounded in simplicity, optimism, and practical discipline. Carrie also discusses the firm's core values, how they integrate books into company culture, and the evolving role of compliance in an AI-driven world.  In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:59) - Carrie's money moment (05:37) - The importance of core values in company culture (09:08) - Reframing compliance through optimism and simplicity (11:02) - Ullmann Wealth Partners' Divorce Advisory Group (12:54) - Building relationships with Centers of Influence (COI) (17:42) - Making complex projects simple (19:30) - What makes a great CRM (23:13) - Ullmann's tech stack (25:53) - Why texting is such a taboo for regulators (28:04) - Carrie's outlook on the future of the industry (30:46) - Carrie's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Building your firm around core principles like discipline, simplicity, optimism, and professional advice isn't just good branding—it creates a shared language that guides decision-making, shapes culture, and helps clients stay focused during uncertainty. Compliance isn't just about rules—it's about protecting clients and building trust. A proactive, optimistic approach to compliance can strengthen your firm's culture and help you deliver better service across the board. Before adopting new tools like CRMs or AI platforms, prioritize peer insights over sales pitches. Talk to other firms, ask about pitfalls, and be methodical in your rollout—technology should support your process, not disrupt it. When building relationships with centers of influence (COIs), don't just tell them what you do—show them. Invite them into your client meetings, let them experience your planning firsthand, and trust that authenticity will speak louder than any pitch. Quotes "This business is working with people day in and day out. And when you see that in practice, there's nothing more fulfilling than that." ~ Carrie King "You don't need to do crazy investment strategies, trading options, or all these other things. The most important thing for people is coming up with a financial plan and helping them stick to it, especially in times of turbulence when there are unexpected consequences." ~ Carrie King "The ultimate end goal of compliance is to protect the client—protect them from scams, and protect them from fraud." ~ Carrie King Links  Carrie King on LinkedIn Ullmann Wealth Partners Brian James Glenn Ullmann Landing a Smooth Retirement Move Forward Confidently Patrick Kilbane Caitlin Frederick Getting Things Done Factfulness Jump AI MyRepChat Merrill Lynch Raymond James Wells Fargo Mercer Advisors Creative Planning Hightower Advisors Unreasonable Hospitality An Unfinished Love Story Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Kate also shares candid reflections on the shift from policy theory to operational reality and why public-private partnerships are more than buzzwords in today's crypto compliance landscape.From developing transaction monitoring protocols to evaluating emerging threats like AI-generated fraud, the emerging impact on AI on compliance and KYC, Kate emphasizes a risk-based approach rooted in mission-driven strategy. She also discusses the importance of educating policymakers, engaging with global regulators, and maintaining an agile compliance posture amid fast-moving technologies.And outside of compliance? Kate takes a risk-based approach to kayaking whitewater rivers — an apt metaphor for navigating crypto compliance in 2025.

I'm just going to stop saying ‘ESG.' But the idea that for my basic product, I want to be water positive, I want to have a circular economy on my packaging, and I want to grow our business with less sugar—you can call it anything you like, but no one with common sense says those are bad ideas.“My business strategy is constant and clear and centered around the business and the things that consumers care about and that fix societal problems. If people want to attach labels to it, that's their issue. I'm saying this business will be great if I fix these problems, and it will be good for shareholders and be good for society.”Coca-Cola's Lead Independent Director and Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee chair Maria Elena Lagomasino: maybe some of the woke messaging of Disney movies altered her conscience?Female board power at Coke: 49% influenceMATT1Ryder's $2.5M Settlement Brings 4-Year Governance Overhaul: What's Changing for Shareholders - suit alleged Ryder's management team and board artificially inflated the values of certain Ryder assets and made materially misleading statements regarding those values - suit alleged breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. Board has to create a Corporate Risk Steering Committee, company must hire a Chief Compliance Officer, a Management-level “Disclosure Committee”, at least two Audit Committee members must be financial experts, they have to hire a third party to do market research, they have to have a “pricing” team to examine market prices, they have a clawback, and they have a non-retaliation policy.CEO Robert Sanchez - CEO since 2013, the Man in the ChairThe Audit Committee - a FIVE person audit committee, all of whom they disclosed in 2020 were “financial experts”, all but one of whom was a CEO at another company that made them a “financial expert” (the fifth was an accounting professor), one of whom was the lead independent director who had been there since 2002Dmitri Stockton! The director who now has the wonderful distinction of having sat on the Deere board the flipped on DEI, the Target board that flipped on DEI, Stanley Black and Decker who was sued for not disclosing executive perks, and the Ryder board who was sued for sucking at being a board - all while he was there!DEI! Dmitri Stockton is BLACK and Robert Sanchez SOUNDS MEXICAN!US Steel Flags Trump DEI Order as Risk Factor for InvestorsRacist old white guys and tech bros! The order was written, ostensibly, by Stephen Miller, Trump, and Musk, the three horseman of the brownpocolypse, and US Steel is now including Trump's DEI order as a material risk to the companyThe lawyers! The company said in its annual report last year that it aims “to have an engaged and diverse workforce to promote new ideas and innovation, reflect the communities where we operate, and deliver exceptional customer service.” This year, that same sentence omitted a reference to having a “diverse” workforce. That sounds like Duane D. Holloway, chief ethics and compliance officer and general counsel, right?DEI! Duane Holloway… is BLACK! Mr. Holloway serves on the board of directors of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA), the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, the Allegheny County Parks Foundation and Gilman School. He also serves as Executive Sponsor of U. S. Steel's SteelPARENTS Employee Resource Group. That all sounds exceedingly woke and DEIish.The board! US Steel managed to find 8 white males for their 12 person board, 3 white woman, and 1 black woman… so people of color have a whopping 6% influence on the board. It DOES feel risky to talk about them though, right?Walgreens stock plunges. Its dividend payout changes are to blameRoz Brewer! She was a DEI hire after all, right? Can't we pin this on her tenure as fake CEO?Steffano Pessina! The man with 61% of board influence, the man who fired Roz Brewer, the man who we'll find out today won re-election despite cratering the company as executive chair!DEI! Did you see this line in the announcement about the dividend cessation? “In fiscal 2024, WBA scored 100% on the Disability Equality Index for disability inclusion”. SO WOKE.
