CONVERGE19 is in its 4th year of bringing together the world’s leading companies for 2 days of dynamic speakers, thought-provoking breakout sessions, and opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals. You will leave the conference with new resources and best practices allowing you to continue the hard work of driving ethics to the center of your business. In today’s episode I visit with Mike Volkov, founder of the Volkov Law Group about his talk at Converge19, the Nuts & Bolts of Sanction Compliance.
It seems like not a week goes by where there is not a headline highlighting a company coming up short with OFAC regulations. Is your compliance program equipped to comply with the US Treasury Department’s new guidance on building an effective sanction compliance program? In this session, one of the top compliance practitioners around, Mike Volkov will provide to you up to date information on the changing regulatory landscape of sanction compliance and how to build an effective sanction compliance program.

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 President’s recent imbroglio regarding Hurricane Dorian, Alabama and sharpies.
Some of the highlights include:
- Why was this episode so creepy?
- What is a Level 5 business leader and why are those traits so valued in business?
- What would happen if a business leader intentionally misrepresented his company’s products?
- If you threaten to fire all who disagree with the Leader’s comments, what will it do for the future of the organization?
- What was the failure of compensating controls?
- What should a Board of Directors do if a CEO engages in material misrepresentations?
