Great Women in Compliance

Episode 30-Letitia Adu Ampoma

On today’s episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa speaks with Letitia Adu Ampoma, Director, Peverett Maxwell.   Peverett Maxwell provides compliance consulting and advisory services to organisations working in Africa, and she is based in Ghana. Lisa and Letitia met at the 2016 SCCE European conference and heard Letitia speak about the culture of compliance in Africa, and the differences between Africa and the west, and also between countries and regions in Africa.
Letitia’s career has taken her all over the world, and she started in compliance when she moved back to Ghana just as the UK Bribery Act was introduced.  She has become a leader in global compliance, and discussed cultural differences that all compliance practitioners should consider when working in Africa, the importance of how to focus on processes and goals, and key compliance trends in Africa right now, especially mobile banking and data privacy.
Letitia has lived all over the world, and this has impacted her viewpoint both on best practices in compliance and in business as a whole.  Letitia has always followed her instinct, whether it was to move home to Ghana from the UK, or to get involved in compliance, or to work in companies or now at Peverett Maxwell in her current role.  Her wealth of knowledge and experiences – makes her a #gwic and great friend.

Compliance into the Weeds: Episode 135-CEOs Modeling Corporate Values

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. In this episode, Matt Kelly  and I go into the weeds to explore the actions by Delta CEO in not going to a meeting at the White House because of previously scheduled vacation plans. Is this modeling of corporate values useful to improve employee morale?
Some of the highlights include:

  • Why did Delta CEO Ed Bastain ditch a White House meeting?
  • Does a CEO cancelling a meeting to go on previously scheduled vacation model your corporate values?
  • If a CEO will not attend a meeting what does that say about a company?
  • Does the CEO’s help or hurt employee morale?
  • How was Delta accountable in its ferrying of stranded 5thgraders to DC?
  • How has Lowe’s damaged employee trust?
