By Adam Turteltaub The current fee-for-services model in healthcare has challenges, to say the least. Value-based care, explains, Colleen Gianatasio, Vice President of Compliance, CoventBridge, takes a different approach by asking four questions: What are the needs for both patients and providers? What are the challenges and barriers to meeting them? What technology and other resources are available? How will providers be measured for success, and when will they be reimbursed? In answering these questions there is an underlying emphasis on a much more collaborative and transparent approach among patients, providers and payers. There is also a commitment to understanding the community as a whole. For those looking for advice on how to pursue value-based care, she offers several thoughts, including: Be thoughtful in your use of technology solutions Give all your stakeholders a seat and voice at the table Break down the silos, and communicate openly and frequently Listen in to more about the practice and promise of value-based care.

By Adam Turteltaub There's a lot of discussion about the relationship between compliance and the general counsel. Less words, though, have been dedicated to the important relationship between compliance and HR. Netherlands-based Asaf Shalev, Global Ethics, Risk & Compliance Lead for DLL rightly observes that maximizing synergy between the work of HR and compliance is a key for success of both the compliance program and the business. The departments share overlapping interests in a number of areas, including the code of conduct. He advocates both sides working closely together to ensure that it is human centric. When it comes to compensation, HR can help by building in compliance-related metrics. When it comes to discipline, HR can ensure that it is documented, consistent and fair. They can also be helpful for navigating local the labor laws that may apply. Listen in to learn more about how to make the compliance-HR relationship work from recruiting and onboarding through the entire employee lifecycle.

By Adam Turteltaub Few things hold more promise, or cause more stress for compliance professionals, than AI. What is it?  How does it work? And does anyone know how to keep it from showing so much bias? David Silva, Chief Compliance Officer at Collaborative Imaging, will be addressing the topic of “Healthcare, Artificial Intelligence, and Compliance” at the 2025 HCCA Compliance Institute, which will takes place April 28-May 1 in Las Vegas. To get some of his insights now, we sat down  for this podcast. David explains that part of the challenge is that AI is so fast changing that it's hard to keep up. We don't yet know what we don't know about it. At the same time, though, the technology is showing great promise in healthcare in areas such as coding, simple reports and helping with third-party vetting. Compliance teams have an important role to play in the implementation of AI in healthcare, he explains. Ideally, they should be a part of the AI governance team, working with a broad range of departments and helping to ensure that programs are monitored to avoid issues with privacy or the False Claims Act, for example. So how should compliance professionals become a valued and effective part of AI efforts? He advocates for staying engaged and pushing to be invited to meetings. When there, keep your ear to the ground, learn more about operational workflows, and try to make sure that AI does what it is supposed to do, without crossing legal and regulatory lines.

John Bright “And I developed this set of tools to relieve clinicians from the burden of data entry at the point of care, hospitals, outpatient clinics, so on,” says John Bright, Founder and Managing Director, of Med Claims Compliance (MCC). “That's what we do. We call it a technology-enabled service because we're providing a service with the technology.” With 80% of medical bills containing errors and costing Americans $210 billion annually, the healthcare industry faces a crisis in documentation, coding, and revenue accuracy, despite huge technological advancements in the industry. Nearly 75% of healthcare professionals say the time or effort needed to complete clinical documentation hampers patient care. Over 77% of healthcare professionals report working after hours due to excessive documentation demands. That's why AI-driven solutions, paired with human expertise, are becoming essential for reducing these costly inefficiencies. It's estimated that AI could solve the healthcare sector's $500 billion annual administrative problem. In an industry increasingly reliant on technology, ensuring that AI is guided by human expertise is key. Med Claims Compliance leverages AI and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Machine Learning to transform medical claims processing. “It's a SAS model. The service is that we can generate correct, compliant medical records at the point of care for a doctor who is using his voice or her voice in an ambient multi-speaker scenario with a patient. And then we can code it correctly according to federal guidelines in the US or the national health system in the UK or Canada. Then, we can compliance check it according to the program integrity compliance guidelines that health payer, government payer, private payer has. And then we can produce it to the end user clinician and tell them, you know, here's how you bill your claim correctly. Here's how you're in the lanes or outside of them after we've told you what the coding is that you should use in your billing forms. And that's the service we provide. We just use pure technology about 90% to do that successfully and accurately. That's what we do.” About Med Claims Compliance:  One of healthcare's biggest challenges—inefficient, error-prone clinical documentation and billing processes—is the task that Med Claims Compliance (MCC) has tackled. In an industry increasingly reliant on AI, Med Claims Compliance stands out with its Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning (HITL-ML) technology, which ensures that AI is guided by human expertise to prevent costly errors. With over a decade of development, MCC has successfully partnered with major institutions, including Medicare and the VA, to streamline healthcare operations, reduce provider burnout, and improve patient care. By blending innovation with accuracy, MCC helps healthcare providers navigate the complexities of compliance and revenue management, positioning itself as a leader in responsible AI within the healthcare sector. Med Claims Compliance, based in Austin, TX, and founded by John T. Bright, is revolutionizing how healthcare is delivered, processed, and paid. About John Bright:  John T. Bright is an accomplished healthcare technology executive with extensive expertise in developing and implementing advanced medical claims processing systems. As the founder and CEO of Med Claims Compliance Corporation (MCC), John has been instrumental in the creation of innovative healthcare technology solutions, including VetPoint™, CliniPoint™, and RemitOne™. His leadership has guided MCC to provide

By Adam Turteltaub Do you ever ask yourself, “What kind of compliance officer am I?” Netherlands-based  Susan du Becker, Director, Risk & Compliance at Microsoft, thinks we all should. To her experience, there are two answers to that question. One is a regulatory compliance officer: someone who is focused on the requirements of regulators, potential fines and legal consequence. The other is a business compliance officer, who is focused on what the business needs and how to ensure it achieves its goals while staying within the multitude of white lines the laws and regulations have painted. She envisions herself as the latter, balancing business and regulatory requirements. She recognizes that the business unit will test the limits, and that she is there to make sure there are always two feet solidly on the ground. To keep the business team focused on their legal and regulatory obligations, she advocates for making it clear what lines absolutely may not be crossed, taking the time to meet with them regularly and being prepared to have some difficult conversations if necessary. She also believes that compliance teams are most effective when not positioning themselves as just a gate keeper. Listen in to learn more about the approach, the role of governance and how to ensure the business understand this it owns compliance. Listen now

By Adam Turteltaub With the explosion of sanctions regimes globally, and particularly in the US, most any company that exports just about anything now has to have a trade compliance effort. To understand what that entails we spoke with Julia Komarovskaya, Export Compliance Manager at MathWorks. It's a complex challenge, she explains, with the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) all having a say, and often with overlapping jurisdictions. Organizations need to watch what goods they export, to where and to whom. Knowing your customer has never been more important. To navigate this minefield, she recommends first recognizing that the rules don't apply only to goods. Services can be covered as well. Also recognize that exporting something as innocuous as a pencil could be prohibited, if sent to the wrong person. Developing an export control program right takes understanding what you are exporting now, working closely with the business team as early in the process as possible, and planning for the long term since regulations are guaranteed to grow more complicated over time.

By Adam Turteltaub There are hundreds of Compliance Perspectives podcasts, and this is the first one that is a podcast about podcasts. More specifically, the podcasts created by the compliance team at John Deere. The compliance team there had long looked to a wide range of tools for reaching the workforce including a monthly email newsletter, channel on internal social media, an intranet site and even digital signs on TV screens at their facilities. Yet, despite all this effort, they knew they could do more. As Wendy Davies-Popelka, the Associate Director, Global Ethics & Compliance, explains, the compliance team was listening to and hooked on several podcasts, and it occurred to them that they should try and create one of their own. So, they did. The podcasts are generally 5-10 minutes long and are based on actual cases that occurred at the company. Investigators, business people and others are interviewed to tell the story, from initial allegation through dispensation. The series has been very successful with a growing audience. Importantly, it has demystified the compliance program. To learn more about the podcasts and how easy they can be to create, be sure to listen to this podcast about John Deere's podcasts. Listen now

By Adam Turteltaub Jay Anstine (LinkedIn), President of Bluebird Healthlaw Partners, recently wrote a blog post I spotted entitled How to Sell Compliance Without “Selling” Compliance. It struck home, and I asked if he cared to do a podcast about it. He said yes and explained in the interview that compliance is often seen as the “hall monitor” rather than a welcome party to business conversations. To overcome that he recommends we focus on several methods for changing perceptions. Establish Rapport Be more intentional about truly getting to know the business people. Learn about the market, the business partners and competitors that they have. Show them that you understand the business issues that they face. Take the time as well to better know them as people. Do Your Homework Know your audience and their operation. Understand their point of view and the issues that they face. Walk a mile in their shoes. When he faced an issue with hospital registrations, he spent several hours working the registration desk to understand the situation better. Anticipate Questions Think like a healthcare leader, not a compliance officer, and how they may respond to what you plan on telling them. Package Your Communications Bring them both the problem and the solution. That helps alleviate anxiety and gets you closer to achieving the change you are seeking.

Datagate enables white labeling with great service, simplicity and tax compliance, Podcast, “Get your tax compliance right so you can sleep at night” “Get your tax compliance right so you can sleep at night, says Mark Loveys, CEO, of Datagate Innovation. In this podcast, Mark makes the case for white label, and makes the case that having the right billing solution is critical to white label journey, from growing, preparing and finally selling the telecom centered business. Good billing means getting tax compliance right, as a key element. “You're missing out on all that extra margin if you decide not to white label,” Mark adds. Mark tells us that it's a combination of making sure your tax compliance is correct, and that the billing solution not only captures all the services sold but helps with customer care and development with new services and new billing. “What I would normally say to telecom retailers and MSPs is that a lot of them have their retirement strategy built into their business. They're wanting to grow the value of their business and that extra top line revenue coming through when you're billing the service and the extra margin is going to undoubtedly build the value of your business a lot faster, give you a much bigger retirement nest egg when you come to sell.” We learn about Datagate's approach to helping clients build their brand. And often that' a mix of technology, people and customer service. “What we're seeing all around the world where Datagate operates is that the smaller reseller, the managed service provider, typically has a much stronger relationship with their customer than the large telcos.” Better billing means better revenue now, improved growth and deeper brand loyalty over the long term. If you are building an MSP brand and business, it begins with the billing solution in use. Visit www.datagate.com Datagate enables white labeling

By Adam Turteltaub What do we do with ESG? Is it a part of compliance? Something different? How do we handle it? Renee Murphy, Distinguished Evangelist at Diligent argues in this podcast that while there are compliance aspects to ESG, it is best to quickly make it a part of operations and under the general risk management structure. Of the three elements of ESG, it is the environmental sustainability side, she believes, that will be the most challenging. With new requirements for organizations to report on their fossil footprint, companies are being forced to march into unexplored territory. As a result, they will need to evolve their process, which, she believes, will become easier as management comes to understand the balance sheet implications. Listen in to learn more about what is happening with ESG, and what compliance teams need to know.

By Adam Turteltaub The 340B Drug Pricing Program was created to protect safety net hospitals from rising drug prices. It allows them to purchase outpatient drugs, and pharma companies to sell those drugs, at a discount. In this podcast, Jason Reddish (LinkedIn), Principal and Mark Ogunsusi (LinkedIn), Associate, at Powers Pyles Sutter & Verville provide an overview of the program and the compliance requirements. They are also two of the authors of the chapter “Pharmacy:  340B Drug Pricing Program” in the Complete Healthcare Compliance Manual. The 340B program helps hospitals that are the last line of defense for underserved communities, including those with a large percentage of Medicaid patients. Often, they are the only hospital around in rural areas. Also helped by the program are federal grantees such as Ryan White clinics and those providing treatment for STDs. The program dictates which entities can buy discounted drugs and have very specific requirements including two very important ones. First, the drugs cannot be resold or transferred to anyone who is not a patient of the covered entity. Second, double billing of Medicaid is prohibited and must be monitored for. There are a number of typical compliance problem areas, but the good news is that there has been a decline in non-compliance. Listen in to learn more about what covered entities are doing right, and what you should be on the lookout for.

By Adam Turteltaub The FCPA sure isn't what it used to be, or is it? While the headline grabbing Foreign Corrupt Practices Act cases are much less frequent than they once were, there is still substantial risk both for individuals and companies, as recent dispositions have shown. To understand where things are we sat down with Markus Funk, partner at Perkins Coie and author of the chapter “Anti-Bribery and Corruption Compliance Programs” in The Complete Compliance and Ethics Manual 2024. He explains that just because there aren't cases in the news, doesn't mean all is quiet. There may remain a steady stream of companies self-reporting violations and reaching less-formal agreements with the DOJ. Whatever the trend may be, third parties remain the greatest risk, and the prescription stays the same. You need to know who the third party is and hire them for the right reason: their expertise and track record for success in the right way. Hiring a government official's cousin to help get the deal remains a very bad idea. Another bad idea:  assuming your people are not a risk area. They are. Be sure to be sensitive to internal risks. Train the workforce and work with the finance team to help them serve as an extra sets of eyes when it comes to spotting misconduct. Above all, stay alert and be prepared to investigate possible incidents. Prosecutors still expect companies to bear the brunt of the investigative burden.

By Adam Turteltaub Behavioral health shares many of the same compliance challenges as the rest of healthcare, but it also has several of its own. To understand the risks, we sat down with Community Counseling Solutions' Executive Director Kimberly Lindsay and Compliance & Privacy Officer Tim Timmons. They will be leading the session “Developing an Ethics and Compliance Program in Behavioral Health” at the HCCA 28th Annual Compliance Institute, which will be in Nashville, April 14-17 and also offered in a virtual format. In this podcast they identify several typical compliance challenges in the behavioral health setting: Managers and supervisors who are well intentioned but busy, not holding staff accountable and not reporting in a timely manner. Incidents after hours when a patient is in crisis. This is a very difficult situation.  The team is eager to help the patient get better, but with lots of adrenaline flowing in a difficult situation, they may find themselves sharing more information about the patient than they should. Sharing PHI improperly when working with community partners. Mishandling of subpoenas and court ordered requests for records which may not comport with 42 CFR. Coding and dual diagnosis treatment Treatment plans that are not updated before providing services Overly verbose documentation Listen in as they outline these issues and ways to address them. Then, plan on joining us in Nashville for the 28th Annual Compliance Institute.

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast. How can you make risk management more relevant? In this episode, Hemma Lomax visits with Rupert Evill, a seasoned expert in human-centered risk management, with a diverse background spanning over 50 countries and 30 sectors, and a strong academic foundation in business, international relations, and sustainability.

By Adam Turteltaub While Ericsson is best known for its mobile phones, the company's reach in wireless is far greater. It is the creator of Bluetooth technology, owns patents on much of the critical IP that wireless systems depend on, and is active in more than 180 countries providing much of the hardware, and even cellphone towers, that enables all of us to talk, text, and surf the web wherever we are in the world. Jan Sprafke, Chief Compliance Officer at Ericsson, explains in this podcast that with that global reach – including operations in approximately 100 high risk countries – also comes a large network of suppliers. To manage the potential compliance challenges that go along with it, the company uses a risk-based approach to supplier management They assess the country risk, go to market approach and whether the supplier will be using subcontractors. Then they work closely with sourcing and other assurance functions on an ongoing basis. The company's supplier code of conduct is shared with their vendors. But, it is just the start. There is also training provided, supplier days, meetings with them to discuss FCPA, AML, health and safety and other topics. All of these efforts and more help suppliers understand what Ericsson's expectations are, not just in principle but also in practice. They even work with many of their contractors as they select their subcontractors. The goal is to create an end-to-end framework for managing third party compliance risk.

By Adam Turteltaub Compliance programs have come far over the last few decades, but there is still more that they could do to elevate their performance. In this podcast, Alison Taylor, Clinical Associate Professor at NYU Stern School of Business and author of the book Higher Ground shares some intriguing and provocative ideas for improvement. She is a strong believer in what she calls “firm foundations”. These foundations avoid having too many rules which can, inadvertently, have a negative impact, causing employees to abdicate responsibility for their action and grow overly reliant on following rules. Instead, she argues for simplifying and being attuned to human behavior and the role of incentives. Be wary too, she advises, of mixed messages and potentially pernicious effects when it appears, whether true or not, that the rules for the rank and file do not apply to leadership. It degrades trust and the culture. To get more employees to speak up when they see wrongdoing, she advises investing the time in understanding why they don't raise their hands more. When it comes to measuring the impact of the compliance program, she is a strong proponent of measuring the ethical culture. Do employees feel safe speaking up?  Whom do they speak to when there is a problem? Do they believe the whistleblower line is truly anonymous? Is leadership looking out for them? The answers to these questions, and how they change over time, can illuminate how well the program is working. Listen in to gain more insights, including how to build a common ethical foundation and the importance of adequate authority for the compliance and ethics program.

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast. How can we reimagine risk management? In this episode, Hemma Lomax visits with Sabrina Segal, a seasoned third sector integrity risk and compliance advisor with a legal background. Sabrina is currently based in Rwanda as part of an international development and humanitarian assistance team. She is the host of Tolerable Risk, a podcast about integrity and compliance in the third sector. Sabrina shares her perspective on compliance and risk management in the third sector, which is inherently high risk, in large part due to its operation in areas where the private sector may not see value and where government regulation has failed. Sabrinal believes that traditional approaches to risk management, which are quantitative-heavy and designed for industries like finance and oil and gas, are not suitable for the third sector, which requires a more accessible qualitative approach for a diverse set of stakeholders. Drawing from an array of global experiences, Sabrina emphasizes the need for bespoke approaches tailored to the specific needs and constraints of small and medium-sized charities and nonprofits. Sabrinal has developed an approach called objective-centered risk management for the third sector based on work from her mentor, Timothy Leech. Objective-centered risk management focuses on facilitating the achievement of organizational objectives, collaborating to identify both threats and opportunities, and directly influencing decision-making. Sabrina's work in compliance and risk management is designed to improve the overall programming and impact of organizations in the third sector, but also has many applications in private sector and corporate compliance Key Highlights: Tolerable Risk Podcast on Tailored Risk Management for Nonprofits Navigating High-Risk Environments: Third Sector Compliance Objective-Driven Risk Analysis and Decision-Making Comprehensive Risk Management Strategy with Active Monitoring The Importance of Involving Stakeholders in Risk Management Quantitative tools and trust in data for risk management Advocacy and Inclusion in Restorative Justice Resources: Join the Great Women in Compliance community on LinkedIn here.

By Adam Turteltaub Decades ago, while at a bit of a career crossroads, I was thinking of making a dramatic change and moving halfway around the world. I was talking it through with a friend who said that one day he asked himself whether he wanted to have a successful career or an interesting one. He realized that interesting was more important to him. That decision led him from Missouri to New York to Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand, where he ended up enjoying great success. Ricardo Weffer, Group Ethics and Compliance Head of Al Dahra, has had a similar career journey that ranged from Venezuela to Dubai with countless points in between. In this podcast he shares his almost two decades of work in compliance and anticorruption in Latin America, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Europe and Asia. A lawyer by training, he has worked in energy, banking, tobacco, logistics and agriculture. Despite all this variety, both in geography and industry, he shares that there are professional commonalities wherever he has gone. These include great compliance and business leaders who stand for what is right and are willing to fight for it. He has also found, happily, that, no matter what the industry, companies are mostly made up of real, hard-working, well-intentioned people driven by values who want to do the right thing. What wisdom does he have for those thinking of having a global career?  He offers three pieces of advice: Be adventurous and open to new experiences. Be willing to be taught. Enjoy it. Working and living abroad can be tough, but the rewards are worth it. Listen in to learn more, including some inspiring words about the impact of compliance professionals.

BroadSource SecureCall help merchants get PCI compliance, Podcast, the sanctions are devastating, including losing your ability to receive payment by card, which today can be a death blow Everybody has done it: been on a call where a credit card's details were given. Your organization at some point might have called to collect on an account, or otherwise receive payment. You might have, voluntarily offered card information, possibly to a trusted merchant, especially a small company, or even a charity. But such transactions are likely outside of the compliance set by the credit card giants. And merchants (and that's simply defined as anyone that has been granted the privilege of accepting cards), could be in violation of their merchant agreement, might be outside of security complaisance by doing what may have become, common place. The sanctions are devastating, including losing your ability to receive payment by card, which today can be a death blow.

Audrey Harris, this week's guest, shared a quote with us that is very meaningful to her. It is from Theodore Roosevelt, about “The Man in the Arena. Since this is #GWIC, we have expanded this to the women in the arena. That is the woman who is actually in the arena, not the critic or the person who waits to offer suggestions or say what can be done better after the hard calls are made and who strives to do the work and…spends herself on a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither knows victory nor defeat.” Audrey Harris is the woman in the arena. She is Managing Director, of Global Anticorruption, Compliance, Ethics & Non–Financial Risk at Affiliated Monitors, Inc., was formerly at two world-class law firms, and has also been a Chief Compliance Officer. She has made hard decisions in real-time and now helps organizations do the same. In this episode, Lisa and Audrey talk more about what the woman in the arena does and why Ethics and Compliance Officers are truly the people in the arena. Audrey will also provide insight on the most recent US Department of Justice statement, whether it really is the “Monaco Memo 3.0,” and her views about what is significant in the memo and the guidance it provides.  The arena for GWIC next week is US Thanksgiving, so we are off but will see you with a great episode on November 29.

Welcome back to the Great Women in Compliance podcast. In today's episode, Lisa talks with Lizette Arias, who went through this and is now thriving. Today, she is the Director of Ethics and Compliance at Conagra and was recognized as an Emerging Leader in this year's Diversity MBA Top 100 Under 50. Providing a safe environment for people to raise concerns is a priority for any Ethics & Compliance officer, but what happens when that person learns first-hand that the safe space does not exist? Like many of us, she raised concerns about an individual's expenses. However, her experience was one where she was stonewalled, told to stop investigating, and then suffered from retaliation. During all this, she stood up for what she believed was right, and the lessons she learned made her better understand what a whistleblower goes through. She talks about how she brings that insight and empathy into all her investigations.

Welcome back to the Great Women in Compliance podcast. Today's episode was recorded by the full GWIC 2.0 team, Lisa, Hemma, Ellen Hunt and Sarah Hadden during the Society for Corporate Compliance and Ethics conference (CEI) in Chicago. It was a fantastic event, and all four women valued the opportunity to connect with friends and meet some new people as well. The episode was recorded before Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco spoke, but all were looking forward to hearing that. In this episode, each one of the group mentioned some highlights from the beginning of the conference, and their advice about how to get the most out of the SCCE (or any conference). They also discussed things that they are looking forward to discussing on the podcast this fall - in particular, Ellen mentioned how to make the investigation process better for reporters and people involved in investigations, and Sarah is excited to bring her perspective as a business leader and publisher to the discussions.  The Great Women in Compliance Podcast is on the Compliance Podcast Network with a selection of other Compliance related offerings. GWIC is also sponsored by Corporate Compliance Insights, where we have a page where you can hear every episode. If you are enjoying this episode, please rate it and/or provide a review.

By Adam Turteltaub Much of the day to day of compliance isn't about understanding laws. It's about influencing human behavior and steering people in the right direction. In this podcast, Scott Young, Principal Advisor and Head of Private Sector at Behavior Insights Team, Americas shares that understanding how people make decisions can help compliance teams be more effective. To do so, he advocates for using behavioral science to gain a broader perspective for thinking about human behavior. The field has shown, for example, that the classic economics model of rational thinking doesn't always apply. Too often we operate in a semi-automatic mode, making decisions quickly, not really aware we are even making them. So what do compliance teams do? Adopt what he describes as the EAST Framework. Easy. Make sure the proper choice is the default choice. Attractive. Make compliance fun and engaging. Embrace gamification and other ways to make compliance more attractive to people. Social. Humans are social being and we are curious what others are doing. Thinking about tapping into the power of the group, such as leveraging social norms. Timely. Having reminders and controls in place when they are timely is difficult but not impossible. Look for the right moments of intervention and the right, often quick, reminder of what is the right thing to do. Listen in to learn more to learn how you put a behavioral approach to work for your compliance program.

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Hemma Lomax.  GWIC is back to start the 2.0 era! We are very excited to be back, and to start out our new format and hear your views. One consistent thing about the GWIC community is how much you all accomplish and that happened with Lloydette. As you will hear, Lloydette has been offered an amazing government appointment. One of the downsides is that she needed to re-evaluate some of her public commitments. It made the most sense for her to step down from GWIC. During the hiatus, the inaugural Women in Compliance Summit took place, and Hemma Ramrattan Lomax was the Chair. Hemma has also been a guest of the podcast (Episode 145), and an advocate of “Sending the Elevator Back Down, “ and was already helping behind the scenes.  We are thrilled to have Hemma as a co-host, and Ellen Hunt of Spark Compliance and Sarah Hadden of Corporate Compliance Insights as part of the GWIC team and supporting our larger discussions. All four of us will be in Chicago at the SCCE CEI the first week in October, and then the 4 of us will recap the conference for the October 10 episode and to officially kick off this semester.

By Adam Turteltaub Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is driven by a set of rules that set a standard of security for any entity that takes, stores or processes credit card data. Any time you or I make a credit card purchase, we rely on PCI compliance by all involved to keep our information safe. Now, the standard is evolving to PCI 4.0, explains Mark Schreiber, Senior Counsel at McDermott Will & Emery. PCI 4.0 is far more robust and clarifies the misunderstandings in the previous standard. It also imposes more than 50 new obligations. Most notable of the changes is the new emphasis on third parties and the need to monitor them. Now, merchants must maintain lists and descriptions of all third-party providers, have written agreements with them that accounts for security standards and includes a process for due diligence before engaging with them. Central to the process is a responsibility matrix, which outlines which party is responsible for each aspect of credit card security. Perhaps needless to say, this is not likely to be a quick process. Also likely to be time consuming is the mandatary self-assessment questionnaire. Listen in to learn all that PCI 4.0 requires and to hear an important warning: just because you outsource your credit card processing, doesn't mean you outsource the risk.
