Day: July 25, 2019

Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance. Today, we have the full quintet of Mike Volkov, Jay Rosen, Matt Kelly, Jonathan Armstrong and Sarah Hadden. Rants and shouts outs follow the commentary for this episode.

1. Jay Rosen considers why governmental entities other than the federal government benefit from independent integrity monitors in their oversight capacity. This includes state AGs, state regulators, counties, cities and school districts. Jay reflects on the anniversary of his father’s death and shouts out to his memory for all the great advice he got from him.

2. Jonathan Armstrong considers how the ICO has bared its teeth in two recently proposed enforcement actions for data breaches; British Airways and Marriott. Jonathan shouts out to the England team which won the recently concluded Cricket World Cup and to the graciousness in defeat of the New Zealand team which lost in heartbreaking fashion.

3. Sarah Hadden reflects on her six-month ride as owner/publisher of Corporate Compliance Insights. Hadden shouts out to a team of a female filmmakers who have formed One Vote at a Time dedicated to the eradication of gun violence. Not only do they believe in a future free of gun violence but they deploy skills to elect legislators at all levels of government to fight for it.

4. Matt Kelly considers the compliance lessons from the Trump Administration’s detention camps on the US/Mexico border. Kelly rants about the USOC which is hiring its very first CCO. He also notes that it took him six clicks to find the USOC Code of Conduct on the Commission’s website.

5. Mike Volkov discusses the new DOJ Antitrust Division’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs in Criminal Antitrust Investigations. Volkov shouts out to the Greater Houston Business and Ethics Roundtable (GHBER) as a model for local business ethics groups.

6. Tom joins in a shout out to the author Andrea Camilleri, at the age of 69, took up mystery novel writing and came up with the Inspector Montalbano detective books.
