Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance podcast with Hemma Lomax and Lisa Fine, sponsored by Corporate Compliance Insights. Over the past few months, the Department of Justice put forth the Whistleblower Pilot Program, and the update to the Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs. It was the perfect time to focus on how these impact whistleblower laws. Jane Norberg, who is a partner at Arnold & Porter and the former Chief of the Office of the Whistleblower and Mary Inman, who is a founding partner of Whistleblower Partners. Mary is also an advocate for the power of whistleblowers and is known for representing Facebook Files whistleblower Frances Haugen and Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz. They provide insight into what makes a credible and legitimate whistleblower, how the SEC reviews tips from whistleblowers and what we as compliance professionals can do to build effective programs. All focused on the review of all concerns that are raised, regardless of the source. They provide some thoughts about how to handle different situations before, during, and after an investigation, providing practical advice. The group discusses the new DOJ Whistleblower Pilot program and where it follows the past programs like the SEC program and where it is filling new gaps. One part of the program includes the 120-day requirement for reporting an issue, and they focused on what that would mean for organizations. Mary and Jane share their views on the requirements and the best practices and reference how most compliance professionals are using the DOJ Evaluation of Corporate Compliance to develop their programs, which means that an issue is investigated. In practical terms, following the ECCP requirement to investigate, and the pilot program has a “race to report,” is a challenge, and this is discussed in depth. Mary and Jane both provided “one thing you should know” to conclude the discussion. Both points are significant ones for anyone who is dealing with any point of the whistleblower or building a strong speak up/anti-retaliation culture.

Host Gregg N. Sofer welcomes Husch Blackwell partner Grant Leach to the program to discuss the burgeoning set of requirements and restrictions placed on U.S. businesses in connection with trade law. Gregg and Grant identify the authorities and agencies involved in trade law and the various mechanisms the regulators use to make rules and enforce them. As trade law rapidly evolves to keep pace with geopolitical developments and challenges, corporate leaders and their compliance teams have the task of managing risks that are sometimes difficult to spot, especially as they involve multiple layers of the global supply chain. Our conversation stresses the necessity of diligence and knowing your customers and vendors, as well as exploring what a “reasonable, risk-based” compliance program looks like in practice.We also discuss a key change in the statute of limitations—from five years to ten—in connection with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions enforcement. This expansion of the lookback period has implications not just for compliance programs but could also complicate corporate transactions and the due diligence process.We conclude our discussion by addressing how the evolving trade law regime impacts smaller enterprises that might have difficulty scaling the compliance function to manage trade-based risk. These enterprises face heightened risk as they are often targeted by bad actors seeking to evade sanctions via transshipment or some other means.Gregg N.

According to Maria Jockel, immigration law is a “complex, highly regulated area of law, which is totally and utterly underappreciated” regarding its significance for nation-building in Australia. In the face of the government's recent moves in this space, work for immigration lawyers will continue to be complex but also stimulating, she says. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with BDO global and national immigration law leader Maria Jockel about her personal story of growing up in displaced persons camps, how and why she came to work in immigration law, the importance of “nation-building”, what the federal government's 10-year strategy for immigration law looks like, and what it means for lawyers in this space. Jockel also details the state of affairs for corporate compliance with immigration matters and what practitioners need to know, practical steps to be taken with regard to being across the myriad of legislation, policy and flagged changes, the need to be “brave-hearted”, and what excites her about the future experience of immigration lawyers in Australia.

By Adam Turteltaub Clara Becerra Campos, Senior Compliance Analyst-Europe for TD SYNNEX, and Dr. Tobias Kruis, Head of Corporate Compliance, Giesecke+Devrient, will be addressing the new EU whistleblowing requirements at the 2024 SCCE European Compliance & Ethics Institute, which takes place in Amsterdam March 18-20. In this podcast, they delve into the challenges posed by the directive, which significantly expands the number of EU-based and non-EU-based companies that must comply. The directive not only provides protections for whistleblowers, they explain. It also establishes procedures and deadlines for handling reports. As significantly, it leaves the door open to variations among EU member states, which complicates the picture considerably. So what should you do? If your organization does not have a whistleblower line already in place they recommend you: Implement an internal reporting channel Be sure it's aligned with legal and data privacy Consider who will manage the system and conduct the investigations Ensure confidentiality Communicate with your workforce For those with a helpline already they recommend starting with a gap analysis to determine if your existing efforts are meeting the new requirements. Listen in to learn more, then join them in Amsterdam at the 2024 SCCE European Compliance & Ethics Institute.

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. Corporate Compliance Insights is a much-appreciated sponsor and supporter of GWIC, including affiliate organization CCI Press publishing the related book; “Sending the Elevator Back Down, What We've Learned from Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020). If you enjoyed the book, the GWIC team would be very grateful if you would consider rating it on Goodreads and Amazon and leaving a short review.  Don't forget to send the elevator back down by passing on your copy to someone who you think might enjoy reading it when you're done, or if you can't bear parting with your copy, consider it as a holiday or appreciation gift for someone in Compliance who deserves a treat.

By Adam Turteltaub You may not realize it, but your compliance program has a brand. Line employees and management all have a host of impressions about the compliance department that color how they respond to what you say and do. A strong brand means that your actions are more likely to be appreciated. A weak brand means it's a very steep uphill climb. Adam Balfour, Vice President & General Counsel for Corporate Compliance at Bridgestone Americas and author of the book Ethics & Compliance for Humans, is an advocate for compliance teams making the effort to invest in creating a strong, positive brand that communicates the value of the program. As a part of that effort, compliance teams need to move beyond simply building awareness to ensuring that the brand resonates and is relevant to the organization. To do that he advocates taking a people centric approach and using three methods of motivation: Start with why. Don't just tell them what to do. Tell them why they need to do it beyond “the law requires it”. Emphasize group safety. Share what others in the organization are doing and use community as a motivator. Use incentives. The US Department of Justice is calling for them, and they can be very helpful, even non-monetary ones. Finally, leaning on his United Kingdom roots, he encourages compliance teams to think like soccer midfielders, players who can both defend and attack. Listen in to learn more about how you can strengthen your compliance program's brand.

By Adam Turteltaub In 2023 the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE) launched a second workshop designed specifically for investigators.  The Experienced Investigator Workshop. Meric Bloch, who is one of the two instructors and Principal at Winter Investigators, explains in this podcast that the workshop is very different from most. Rather than using a traditional method of instructors in front of the room, it seeks to engage the participants directly and make them a part of the learning. Participants are led through case studies and asked to take an active part in the classroom interactions. This provides an opportunity to explore the issues, consider various ideas and think deeper. Looking beyond the surface level mechanics of the investigation is a central part of the workshop. Much of the conversation focuses not on the what to do's, but the why's: why use a certain technique, why one choice may be better than another. The workshop also helps its participants to prepare for what he refers to as the “unknown unknowns”. Often investigators plan out an investigation, Meric notes, based on what they know and what they known is as yet unknown. However, as the process proceeds surprises occur, previously unknown unknown elements must now be tracked down. So who is the workshop best for? Several groups: Those who already know the basics and want to get to the next level. Individuals seeing to have a wider perspective on cases and become not just an investigator but also a business advisor. People who aspire to be a full-time investigator and seek to raise their competence. Lifelong learners. Listen in to learn more, and then take some time learning more about the investigator workshops.

By Adam Turteltaub Stamford Health has just a bit less than 4000 employees spread out in over 40 local offices. For some that would be a nightmare when figuring out how to put together a celebration of Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week, but it's not for Cheryl Gilbert, the director of compliance and privacy. To make the annual event work she uses a wide range of communications vehicles to get the word out. The organization has a new employee orientation every other week, and compliance is a part of it. The organizational newsletter, which publishes twice each week, is also put to use. So, too, is the compliance intranet site. What aren't used? Posters. The team found that the effort involved in creating them, putting them up and taking them down just wasn't worth it. To make the week fun they have developed a wide range of activities including a: Haiku contest. Employees are challenged to write a haiku based on the organizations core values. Where's Waldo type game in which employees have to spot all the breaches on a messy desktop. Question of the day. Word search, which is probably the most popular of all. There is also the opportunity to nominate compliance heroes, with rewards to both the hero and the person who nominates them. While all of these are great for building the relationship between compliance and the rest of the organization, she advises that you shouldn't let your Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week be the only time a year in which the barriers come down. She recommends investing wherever possible in face-to-face interactions. You would be amazed, she tells us, at what a coffee cake can do to help. Listen in to learn more about how to make your Corporate Compliance & Week celebration a success.

And I would like to briefly say, on that note, things really shouldn't be the way they were. Nothing has stayed the same in our world. Technology has changed the way we deliver dentistry and how we communicate with patients, and it's changed the way we perform and carry out all of our infection control tasks as well. So, hopefully, all the offices listening are still keeping up their strong points when it comes to all the PPE and infection control protocols that they put in place back then. So, we don't want to go backwards. We want to keep going forwards.” (2:35—3:06)“Many dentists oftentimes feel like they're smothered by all the regulations — federal, state, local — but that's part of doing business. And when you think about HIPAA, they should think about everything that's required in a security role, for example, as best practices to protect their data and their business — and along with that comes protecting patient information. We see so many different areas where there are ransomware breaches running amok, and we're trying to stay one step behind these thieves and cyber...

On this episode of There Has to Be a Better Way?, co-hosts Zach Coseglia and Hui Chen speak with researchers at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business about the value of corporate compliance programs. Compliance can be (inaccurately) perceived as a “cost center” or an “enabling function,” supporting rather than contributing to product development and business strategy. But business law and ethics professors Todd Haugh and Suneal Bedi tested this idea by assessing the role of compliance in value creation. They discuss findings from their recent study, which explores how consumers value compliance—as a unique product feature—using a statistical technique called conjoint analysis.

Increasingly, independent third parties—better known as “corporate compliance monitors”--are appointed to oversee a company's compliance following the settlement of a criminal or, sometimes, civil enforcement case. Justin Savage of Sidley Austin LLP, speaks with Ike Adams, a Partner at Sidley Austin, and Michele Edwards and Brad Wilson, both with StoneTurn, a global advisory firm. The trio discuss corporate compliance monitorships, which has been a perennial hot topic in DOJ enforcement, particularly in the environmental space over the last 5 years. The episode is part of The Enforcement Angle series, featuring conversations about state and federal enforcement of environmental laws and regulations with senior enforcement officials and thought leaders on environmental enforcement in the United States and globally.  ★ Support this podcast ★

The Justice Department is raising the bar on corporate compliance, and Michael Volkov believes we are witnessing a watershed moment. In this episode of Corruption, Crime and Compliance, he explains the significant revisions to the evaluation of corporate compliance programs, the new corporate enforcement policy, and the criminal division's three-year pilot program on compensation incentives and clawbacks. Some of the ideas discussed in this episode include:DOJ is raising expectations for corporate compliance programs and incentivizing ethical behavior.Companies must implement effective employee reporting systems, conduct timely internal investigations, and hold bad actors and weak supervisors accountable for their failures.DOJ is frustrated with the lack of cooperation between HR and compliance departments and seeks to promote a new era of compliance cooperation and operationalization.The evaluation of corporate compliance programs now includes a new section entitled Compensation Structures and Consequence Management, which mandates the design and implementation of compensation schemes to foster a compliance culture.DOJ's three-year pilot program for corporate compensation systems and clawbacks aims to reduce the burden on corporate shareholders and punish individual wrongdoers.Companies need to bring together senior leadership, business leaders, legal and compliance, and human resources to build together a set of incentives, disincentives and other structural changes to promote an ethical culture of compliance.DOJ expects companies to implement an effective employee reporting system. The updated guidelines provide specific guidance on how that reporting system ties into the overall advancement of the corporate culture, timely internal investigations, careful root cause analyses, and a new term consequence management.Companies can earn a fine reduction when they seek to recoup compensation from culpable employees, and prosecutors will have discretion in how to fashion the requirements for the compliance-related compensation and bonus systems.DOJ's new policy includes important requirements for preservation of data from messaging applications and texting systems, and companies need to tailor communications data preservation policies to the specific risk, profile, and needs of their business.KEY QUOTES:"DOJ's intent here is just unmistakable. Companies have to monitor, detect, and prevent future wrongdoing, and they have to hold bad actors and weak supervisors accountable for their failures." - Michael Volkov"To the extent that compliance and HR departments fail to coordinate and fight over turf, companies will face increased risks of a defective ethics and compliance program, employee misconduct rates will rise, and government investigation risks will rise as well." - Michael Volkov"Finally, with respect to risk management, companies have to ensure that they are appropriate consequences to executives and employees who fail to comply with communications and data preservation requirements.

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley. Today is the second part of a 2-part series that we have been planning for a while, and the timing turned out to be perfect.  Lisa is speaking with an all-star panel of Audrey Harris, Bethany Hengsbach and Dionne Lomax,  Managing Directors from Affiliated Monitors.  Audrey's area is  Global Anticorruption, Compliance, Ethics & Non–Financial Risk, Bethany focuses on Global Corporate Compliance, with a focus on healthcare, and Dionne works in Antitrust and Trade Regulation, as well as being a professor at Boston University. The timing for this series turned out perfectly, as the group was able to get into an in-depth discussion about Lisa Monaco's statements in September about the Monaco Doctrine and some of their key takeaways.  In Part 2, the group discusses the statements about compensation and clawbacks, and the importance of appropriate resources, among other topics. They also provide their individual perspectives on two other topics that many of us discuss.  One is the reporting line for CECOs, and the importance of a direct line to the Board or Audit Committees.  The other is the certification of Corporate Compliance programs by CEOs and CECOs. The entire discussion was extremely insightful, filled with practical ideas and good tips for everyone who is trying to build and/or maintain a program.  Listen to Part 1 here.
