Podcast appearances and mentions of tom fox

Innovation comes in many areas, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom Fox visits with energy journalist/publisher Loren Steffy to discuss whether a Trump administration announcement regarding Venezuela is meaningful for oil markets, concluding that it mainly increases uncertainty and is unlikely to drive major U.S. oil-company investment. They note West Texas shale generally needs about $60 oil to break even, making $50 oil politically and economically problematic. They explain that Venezuela's heavy crude requires specialized extraction technology and extensive, aging infrastructure upgrades to reach the market, potentially costing billions and taking decades, with some estimates placing Venezuela's break-even price at $80 or higher. They emphasize governance, corruption, degraded PDVSA human capital, contract enforceability, and unresolved debts (including reported $12B owed to ConocoPhillips) as key barriers, making Venezuela “uninvestible” for most majors and suggesting only high-risk players might consider entry amid unclear U.S. strategy. Key highlights: Venezuela Heavy Crude Basics Infrastructure Rebuild Challenge Human Capital and Governance Old Debts and Legal Risk Government Plan or Subsidies Resources: Loren Steffy on LinkedIn Stoney Creek Publishing  Innovation in Compliance was recently ranked Number 4 in Risk Management by 1,000,000 Podcasts.

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes back Hughes Hubbard partner Mike DeBernardis to discuss the Southern District of New York's new corporate enforcement voluntary self-disclosure program for financial crimes and why SDNY leadership, including Jay Clayton, likely issued it: to encourage self-disclosure that saves enforcement resources and supports DOJ's focus on individual accountability. They compare the policy to the (former) DOJ's Corporate Enforcement Policy, highlighting notable distinctions such as SDNY's narrower scope (financial/market integrity offenses) and a revised approach to aggravating factors that excludes common CEP considerations like seriousness, pervasiveness, and senior management involvement, while carving out categories including foreign bribery and sanctions evasion, potentially reducing forum shopping. They also examine a “conditional declination” within two to three weeks, its implications for investigation speed and timeliness, and added pressure from whistleblower programs and compressed internal triage timelines.

The award winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. 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 look two recent developments sending a common message to compliance teams.   First, DOJ antitrust official Daniel Glad warns that a new Antitrust Whistleblower Awards program and increased pursuit of prison time for individuals compress companies' timelines to investigate and self-disclose, because insiders may report first and cost those firms potential leniency. Second, Senate Democrats led by Elizabeth Warren propose the FCPA Reinforcement Act to extend the FCPA statute of limitations from five to 10 years for an eight-year window, aiming to preserve future enforcement capacity for misconduct occurring now. They connect these “sticks” with “carrots” such as fast declinations for self-disclosure, emphasizing the need for robust compliance programs, strong reporting culture, prompt investigations, and clear decisions on disclosure regardless of who controls Washington.  Key Highlights  ·      Two Washington Signals ·      Antitrust Whistleblower Push ·      FCPA Reinforcement Act ·      Carrots Sticks and Culture ·      Why Internal Reporting Matters ·      Self Disclosure Through Line  Resources Matt in Radical Compliance here and here  Tom   Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn  A multi-award winning podcast, Compliance into the Weeds was most recently honored as one of a Top 25 Regulatory Compliance Podcast and a Top 10 Business Law Podcast, and a Top 12 Risk Management Podcast.

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. This is our 800th edition. In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes back Gerry Zack, who recently attended the SCCE Europe conference in Berlin. They begin by noting the differences from the U.S. national conference, including a stronger European focus on behavioral ethics, culture, and community networking. Zack highlights extensive conference attention to AI, including the shift toward agentic AI, practical compliance uses such as identifying policy gaps, enhancing third-party due diligence, and automating anomaly follow-up, while cautioning about investigative risks if AI-generated interview strategies are scrutinized in court. They discuss AI-driven fraud threats (deepfakes, fake invoices, and improved phishing) and the growing concerns about shadow AI and the improper use of confidential information. Zack also describes a company's experience pursuing ISO 37301 and 37001 certifications and notes ongoing work and limited U.S. awareness around the UK Failure to Prevent Fraud Act. He was surprised by the profession's continued lack of sophistication in risk assessments.

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 look at the recently announced new Southern District of New York standard for Declinations. They look at SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton's newly released self-disclosure/cooperation/declination policy and its implications for corporate compliance. While the core elements, prompt voluntary disclosure, cooperation, remediation, and restitution, mirror existing DOJ expectations, they highlight a significant change: SDNY now treats “aggravated circumstances” as certain categories of crimes that are categorically ineligible for declinations, including foreign corruption/FCPA, sanctions evasion, terrorism, sex trafficking with minors, smuggling, drug cartels, and forced labor, rather than focusing on offense traits such as senior management involvement or recidivism. They note potential inconsistencies with DOJ's corporate enforcement approach, uncertainty about disclosure timing despite references to promptness and pre-investigation disclosure, broad discretion in enforcement, and the risk of forum shopping.

Innovation occurs across many areas, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode,  host Tom Fox welcomes Evan Sampson, a noted health care compliance attorney. Sampson traces his path from commercial litigation to representing healthcare practices on HIPAA/privacy and reimbursement matters, then moving in-house at a network of plastic surgery centers, where he managed compliance focused on fraud, waste, and abuse, and on evolving out-of-network billing rules leading into the No Surprises Act. Sampson explains how compliance programs can create business value beyond risk mitigation by uncovering inefficiencies and opportunities, such as identifying downcoding in medical billing and using complaint investigations to spot growth areas. He describes how his litigation background helps him anticipate how issues will unfold over time in investigations and litigation, thereby improving his credibility with business leaders. They discuss building a culture of compliance in fast-growing healthcare organizations, tracking regulatory changes across primary and secondary sources, and leveraging AI and data analytics to detect claim outliers and strengthen compliance. Key highlights: Healthcare Compliance Shift Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Compliance Creates Value Building Compliance Culture Tracking Regulatory Changes AI in Compliance Analytics Resources: Evan Sampson on LinkedIn Post & Schell Innovation in Compliance was recently honored as the Number 4 podcast in Risk Management by 1,000,000 Podcasts.

Tom Fox dismantles the biggest myth leaders hold about compliance; that it slows you down. In this conversation, compliance is reframed as a trust accelerator that helps teams move faster, make better decisions, and speak up without fear. From whistleblowing to innovation, from guardrails to growth, this episode reveals the way leaders listen may matter more than the rules they write.   Experience our episodes in a whole new way—watch every video version on our YouTube channel.

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 look at the recent conviction of Charles ‘Hunter” Hobson for FCPA violations. Former Corsa Coal senior sales executive Charles Hunter Hobson was found guilty in Pennsylvania of helping arrange roughly $4.8 million in bribes to officials tied to a state-owned Egyptian coal company, using an intermediary, to secure about $143 million in contracts. Also, Hobson allegedly pocketed about $200,000. Tom and Matt  Hobson's unsuccessful “dog bite” defenses. They also discuss tensions between corporate and individual accountability, the practical reality that companies may cooperate and “turn on” individuals, and that individuals can also expose companies by cooperating with prosecutors. Finally, they speculate on why DOJ pursued trial amid shifting enforcement signals, referencing other recent FCPA matters (Millicom DPA, Smartmatic indictment) and past DOJ trial losses, and conclude that the best approach is to avoid bribery and avoid being the “last man standing.” Key highlights: Hobson Case Overview Dog Bite Defense Breakdown Payment Red Flags Declinations and Individual Risk Why Go to Trial?

Innovation comes in many areas, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom Fox welcomes Tim Khamzin, Founder & CEO of Vivox AI, to discuss building explainable, trusted AI agents for financial crime compliance teams. Tim describes his background in banking operations automation, including large-scale digital transformation and the development of compliance products, and explains how large language models since 2023–2024 enable the automation of unstructured compliance work without extensive model training. He outlines key challenges in AML/KYC operations—15% of bank headcount tied to compliance, heavy manual repetitive investigations across multiple systems, and cultural resistance to adopting technology. Tim emphasizes “explainability” through consistent, repeatable investigations with audit logs and screenshots that mirror human workflows, and “trust” through transparency, compliant vendor choices, and clear communication of limitations. Tim introduces Vivox compliance analyst, “Rachel,” a platform of collaborating agents that supports onboarding, customer due diligence, and false-positive reduction, improved via structured human feedback (thumbs up/down) to learn firm-specific standards. He explains how Vivox stays aligned with evolving regulations by engaging with bodies such as the UK FCA and tracking frameworks such as the EU AI Act and Singapore guidance, with a focus on auditability and explainability. Tim predicts most compliance work will shift to AI agents, with humans handling complex cases and a new role of “compliance engineer” emerging to configure and evaluate agents, alongside industry consolidation and operating-system-style vendor platforms.

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 look at recent reporting on Binance that raises questions about the effectiveness of its compliance program, monitorships, and executive attitudes toward compliance. They recap Binance's 2023 resolution of U.S. criminal and civil matters involving money laundering and sanctions evasion. They discuss the Fortune article, which reported that Binance continued to route funds through its platform to the Iranian government in 2024 and into 2025. They highlight Mr. Zou's public response on X, suggesting that if investigators found misconduct, it implied they failed to prevent it, which the hosts criticize as a misunderstanding that business units own risk and that compliance's role is to provide systems, channels, oversight, and escalation rather than “prevent” all misconduct.

Welcome to the award-winning The Hill Country Podcast. The Texas Hill Country is one of the most beautiful places on earth. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with the people and organizations that make this one of the most unique areas of Texas. In this episode, host Tom Fox speaks with Greg Faldyn, a seasoned insurance industry professional and a long-time Rotarian. Greg, an insurance professional with over 40 years of experience and a dedicated Rotary Club member for nearly 25 years, views the 100th anniversary of Rotary in Kerrville as a landmark achievement in the organization's enduring commitment to community service. Having played a pivotal role in organizing the celebration as the foundation chair, Greg has been instrumental in highlighting Rotary's century-long partnerships with key local organizations, such as the Peterson Foundation and the Raphael Clinic. He proudly points to the Hill Country community's collective resilience, particularly in the wake of events like the July 4th flood, as a testament to Rotary's strength and impact. Passionate about engaging young professionals, Greg believes that the milestone anniversary serves not only as a celebration of past achievements but also as a call to future service and community enhancement.

Innovation spans many areas, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode,  host Tom Fox interviews Matt Kunkel, CEO and Co-Founder at LogicGate, about the company's governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform and current market trends. Matt recounts his path into regulatory risk and compliance work that led to founding LogicGate and launching its Risk Cloud platform in 2015. A major focus is AI governance. Tom and Matt explore how and why senior management is asking compliance teams to provide governance frameworks despite the absence of a single standard (e.g., NIST/ISO/SOC). Matt explains organizations need scalable processes to triage and route large volumes of AI usage requests, apply guardrails based on data sensitivity and criticality, and avoid becoming a bottleneck to innovation. He emphasizes training and culture to address employee misuse, highlighting risks of exposing proprietary data and the need to define what information is acceptable to input into AI models. The discussion turns to LogicGate's culture and how it has been sustained during rapid, organic growth (no acquisitions). Matt outlines LogicGate's six values: Be as One, Embrace Your Curiosity, Empower Customers, Raise the Bar, Own It, and Do the Right Thing.

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, we replay a recent webinar Tom Fox participated in, hosted by EQS. The panel moderator was Steph Holmes, and the panelists were Tom Fox, Mary Shirley, and Matt Kelly. The session focuses on six key 2026 trends for ethics and compliance programs: (1) AI moving from experimentation to operational use, emphasizing deliberate scaling, human-in-the-loop oversight, governance frameworks, monitoring, and managing “shadow AI,” with practical use cases such as policy chatbots, gift/travel/entertainment reviews, and AI-enabled third-party risk lifecycle management; (2) enforcement “volatility” and unpredictable regulatory signals, with emphasis on returning to fundamentals such as documenting program inputs and outcomes, and noting continued activity, including record FCA resolutions and a DOJ whistleblower program award leading to a rapid antitrust settlement; (3) shifting employer–employee dynamics, including Gartner survey findings that 40% of employees would intentionally miss a compliance requirement to harm their organization, discussion of trust, employee sentiment, multi-generational communication differences, and the need to partner with HR while staying within organizational lanes; (4) heightened third-party and supply chain risk expectations, including cybersecurity, tariffs/tariff evasion, export controls, and the need to unify siloed risk views into a holistic third-party risk assessment; (5) anticipated increases in whistleblowing and investigation demands amid volatility, highlighting the importance of preventing retaliation, keeping reporters feeling heard through responsive communications, triage protocols, and anonymized case examples to build trust; and (6) measuring program effectiveness through a shift from outputs to outcomes, including reviewing KPIs and key risk indicators, peer review of investigations, hotline “mystery shopping,” and gap analyses against the DOJ's ECCP and compliance program hallmarks, with special emphasis on third-party documentation and ongoing monitoring.

Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of #ComplianceintotheWeeds, Tom Fox, and Matt Kelly look at the leadership failures from Donald Trump and his administration after the killing of Alex Pretti last weekend.
