In this episode of ‘From the Editor's Desk,' Tom Fox visits with Aaron Nicodemus to discuss highlights from Compliance Week in May, review the National Conference, which concluded in May and take a look at what is coming down the pike in June in Compliance Week. They report that federal enforcement is not receding but shifting, with heightened risk from Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) designations affecting companies operating in Mexico, Latin America, and Brazil; increased and novel use of the False Claims Act, including actions targeting DEI programs, referencing IBM and PayPal settlements; and growing enforcement roles for states, FINRA, and divergent ESG regimes in the UK and Europe. Guidance to compliance leaders is to “stay the course,” strengthen third-party risk management, and document enhanced due diligence around potential FTO ties. They note AI discussions moving from governance frameworks toward scaling practical compliance use cases. June will feature “Inside the Mind of the CCO” survey results, DEI-related findings, and two webcasts. They also recognize former Compliance Week journalist Allie McDevitt's ASBE national Gold Award for her Lafarge series, which is cited as a roadmap for FTO-related risk, alongside DOJ messaging on self-reporting to seek declination.

Team #GWIC and the #GWICfam were out in full force at the 2026 Compliance Week conference in Washington, DC.  Nick Gallo, a Great Gentleman in Compliance, was gracious enough (or agreed when he was “voluntold”) to be our roving reporter, asking people about their conference highlights, practical takeaways, and about AI in compliance, as that was one key event focus. The episode also highlights the importance of collaboration, mentorship, and authentic connections in our community, and Compliance Week is such a great reminder of that. From discussions about everything from culture to analytics to celebrating Joe Murphy's Lifetime Achievement Award, the conference reinforced both the rapid evolution of compliance and the generosity of the people working in it. You will hear the themes of friendships, learning, and shared purpose that continue to define the compliance community from our friends and colleagues.

In this episode, Tom Fox takes a solo turn behind the mic to report on the AI tracks from the recently concluded Compliance Week 2026 conference. He highlights two AI tracks: practical “creative” uses, including live demonstrations by Hemma Lomax creating PowerPoint content and Roxanne Petraeus creating video content, and the more critical compliance focus on AI governance, oversight, and accountability amid limited federal direction and a growing patchwork of state laws, with the EU AI Act positioned as a global benchmark. Tom emphasizes applying standard compliance risk management to AI (identify, manage, train, implement, monitor, improve), addressing shadow AI, internal/external/vendor risks, and building AI “in” rather than bolting it on. He notes scaling challenges, ROI questions, auditor expectations, risk registers, fraudsters' use of AI, and ongoing discussions with Matt Kelly.

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Vince Walden, President of konaAI, to discuss his two panels at Compliance Week 2026 and the state of AI in compliance. For the panel on AI and the compliance workforce, Vince argues jobs are generally safe because AI is best deployed as “digital assistants” (not digital employees) that handle repetitive tasks like data pulls and third-party due diligence, while keeping the “expert in the loop,” and he plans to show real use-case examples. For the ROI panel, Vince and co-panelists will discuss measuring impact through productivity gains, cost savings, faster turnaround for due diligence, and expanded compliance capabilities such as culture assessments, training, and transaction monitoring. Vince also links AI analytics to detecting fraud, waste, and abuse, citing a potential $35 million vendor abuse recovery, and explains why Compliance Week remains a top conference for regulator and peer benchmarking.

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore it more fully. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss a new anonymous Radical Compliance survey, launched with Case IQ and Compliance Week, to quantify retaliation against compliance officers who raise compliance concerns to senior management. The survey asks what misconduct was reported, who retaliated, what forms of retaliation took place, such as firing, demotion, harassment, budget cuts, blacklisting, and what actions followed. Matt also encourages responses even from those who have not experienced retaliation. Tom and Matt have previously discussed anecdotally but have not systematically studied, and plan to publish their findings and host a webinar later in the spring, likely in June. They also discuss potential structural protections informed by data, such as disclosure expectations around CCO departures (e.g., 8-K concepts) and contract/regulatory-approval models like those in India's banking sector, and suggest that the findings could inform DOJ views on compliance autonomy and effective compliance programs. Key highlights: Survey Launch Explained Retaliation Questions Why This Study Matters Defining Prevalence Using Findings for Change Final Call to Participate Resources: Matt on Radical Compliance Survey on Retaliation Against Compliance Professionals Tom Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn A multi-award-winning podcast, Compliance into the Weeds was most recently honored as one of the Top 25 Regulatory Compliance Podcasts, a Top 10 Business Law Podcast, and a Top 12 Risk Management Podcast.

They also begin the countdown to the 2026 Compliance Week National Conference in May. Tom and Aaron break down the fast-moving, policy-driven shifts in U.S. sanctions on Venezuela, Iran, and Russia, and explore how companies are balancing business opportunities with escalating geopolitical and compliance risks amid a volatile oil market. They spotlight Compliance Week's feature on illegal mining, unpacking its deep connections to financial crime, corruption, and supply chain exposure. The conversation also examines a notable March FCPA declination under the DOJ's new Corporate Enforcement Policy, focusing on what it signals about voluntary self-disclosure, remediation, cooperation credit, and the Department's continued emphasis on prosecuting individuals. Along the way, they consider possible aggravating factors, including payments tied to designated criminal or terrorist groups, and what these developments may mean for the future of cross-border enforcement cooperation. Looking ahead, Tom and Aaron preview the 2026 Compliance Week National Conference, taking place May 6–8 in Washington, DC, including awards finalists, anticipated remarks from DOJ and SEC officials, and timely sessions on AI, whistleblowers, and emerging compliance challenges.

The global ship recycling market saw another shift in Week 7 of 2026 as key fundamentals moved in different directions across the sub-continent. The Baltic Dry Index declined by 0.6 percent, mainly due to weaker Capesize and Panamax performance, while Supramax rates improved. Oil prices held near USD 62.8 per barrel as markets continued to monitor U.S. and Iran tensions. In this week's episode, Ingrid and Henning discuss how the U.S. Dollar strengthened against most recycling nation currencies, with India being the exception as the Rupee improved to around INR 90.6. Steel plate prices reversed course in India, falling nearly USD 10 per ton, while Pakistan maintained the strongest fundamentals in the region with plate prices holding near USD 594 per ton. Bangladesh reached a political milestone as the BNP secured a more than two-thirds majority in the general elections. The result is expected to support long-delayed infrastructure projects and could improve domestic steel demand in the months ahead. The country also adopted the International Ready for Recycling Certificate framework, aligning with regional compliance requirements under the Hong Kong Convention. Steel plate prices in Bangladesh remained flat near USD 494 per ton, while the Taka weakened slightly. Pakistan continued to lead pricing tables, supported by firm steel levels, stable currency performance near PKR 279.6, and rising anchorage activity totaling nearly 30,000 LDT across multiple bulk carriers. India's anchorage activity also remained active with more than 47,000 LDT present, despite softer steel prices. Turkey remained quiet, with limited activity in Aliaga and the Lira weakening toward TRY 44. This episode covers demolition pricing direction, steel and currency movements, port activity in Alang, Chattogram, and Gadani, and the ongoing shortage of recycling candidates. The discussion is intended for shipowners, cash buyers, recyclers, brokers, and maritime professionals following developments in the global demolition market

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Are you looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly take a deep dive into the intricate future of corporate compliance amidst changes brought by the presidential executive order suspending FCPA investigation and enforcement. Matt shares insights from a recent Compliance Week event in Boston, highlighting concerns among compliance professionals about the potential obsolescence of their roles. The discussion covers two primary scenarios: regulatory relaxation, making dedicated compliance roles redundant, and technological advancements, particularly AI, potentially replacing human compliance officers. However, both agree on the enduring importance of robust compliance functions integrated within corporate structures, emphasizing the strategic value of compliance in risk management and business operations. They explore the dual excitement and anxiety surrounding AI's role in compliance. Matt and Tom caution against shortsighted management decisions to decentralize compliance functions and highlight how AI can be harnessed to enhance rather than replace human oversight. They argue for proactive measures from compliance officers to demonstrate their value and leverage AI to improve compliance programs. As Matt eloquently puts it, this is a challenging yet opportune time for compliance professionals to up their game and secure their vital role in ensuring corporate integrity and efficiency.

Andrew has over 25 years of compliance experience, at an international law firm and several multinational companies in the Americas, Europe and Australasia. In his most recent role as Chief Risk & Compliance Officer at Albemarle Corporation, he built a new ethics and compliance program, and recruited a new team, against the backdrop of an FCPA investigation. The investigation was resolved by way of a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and Cease & Desist Order with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As part of the resolution, Albemarle secured a 45% reduction in penalty due to its co-operation with the investigation and the compliance program that was built, the largest FCPA % penalty reduction to date. In recognition of these efforts Albemarle was awarded Compliance Program of the Year by Compliance Week in May 2024. In parallel to the FCPA investigation and business ethics efforts, Andrew played a key role supporting Albemarle's commitment to sustainability including UN Global Compact membership, management of the company's human rights framework and support for the company's successful efforts to achieve certification against the Initiative of Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA)'s Mining Standard.

The US Department of Justice Criminal Division has been increasingly vocal about what makes organizations' ethics and compliance programs effective. This input on program effectiveness takes the form of guidance to prosecutors about what questions to ask when companies negotiate to resolve DOJ investigations into corporate wrongdoing on favorable terms. What does this guidance on program effectiveness mean in practice for E&C professionals? In the season 10 premiere of LRN's Principled Podcast, host Susan Divers speaks with John Michelich, who retired last November after 35 years as a federal prosecutor with the Department of Justice's Criminal Division. Listen in as they explore how the DOJ evaluates E&C programs, as well as best practices for companies settling misconduct investigations.  For a full transcript of this podcast, visit the episode page at LRN.com   Guest: John Michelich John Michelich is a retired career prosecutor, who has served at the state, federal, and international levels for 45 years. A native of Illinois, John received his undergraduate education at Illinois Wesleyan University and then attended Drake University Law School in Des Moines, Iowa. For 10 years, John served as Assistant State's Attorney and First Assistant State's Attorney in Springfield, Illinois, where he prosecuted all types of state criminal felony violations including armed robbery, aggravated sexual assault and capital murder.    In 1988, John moved to Washington, DC where he began his 35-year career as a prosecutor with the US Department of Justice, Criminal Division. As a federal prosecutor, John has handled a wide variety of cases including child pornography and obscenity, narcotics distribution and all types of white-collar criminal cases.

Does learning actually occur as a result of ethics and compliance training, or are employees just paying lip service when they take courses? How can you tell the difference? Today, the E&C community is focused on program impact and effectiveness rather than checking boxes—in part because regulators have made it clear that E&C programs must show impact from their activities. On the season 9 finale of the Principled Podcast, Susan Divers discusses how compliance teams can ensure they're getting the right insights to improve their programs with Kristi Kevern, the senior managing director at Dell Technologies.

Do hotlines really work? According to the 2019 Global Business Survey conducted by the Ethics and Compliance Initiative, only 6% of E&C complaints went to hotlines, compared to 51% to direct supervisors and the remainder to higher management or human resources. So why are so many E&C programs—not to mention boards of directors—relying principally on hotline data to assess company culture and compliance? In this episode of LRN's Principled Podcast, Susan Divers talks about reimagining hotlines with Scott Sullivan, the chief integrity and compliance officer at Newmont Corporation. Listen in as Scott shares how his team reinvented Newmont's hotline channel and reporting process to separate the wheat from the chaff and gain meaningful information.  For a transcript of this podcast, please visit the episode page at LRN.com.

When it comes to driving ethical behavior in organizations, many ethics and compliance programs are beginning to focus more on leveraging company values than relying primarily on rules.

In this episode of LRN's Principled Podcast, Susan Divers is joined by Gabriela Del Castillo, the chief ethics and compliance officer at Arca Continental, to discuss the importance of creating a respectful workplace and the role that E&C plays in developing ethical culture.  For a transcript of this podcast, please visit the episode page at LRN.com.   Guest: Gabriela Del Castillo Gabriela Del Castillo is the global chief ethics and compliance officer of Arca Continental, the second-largest Coca-Cola bottler in Latin America—and one of the largest in the world.
