In today’s edition of Daily Compliance News:
Day: December 11, 2019
Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
Today’s Great Women in Compliance podcast is a little different. At the most recent SCCE Compliance and Ethics Institute held in September, Lisa and Mary asked the session attendees to provide examples of the best professional advice they received, and we had a lot of great information from women throughout the ethics and compliance community. It was a unique opportunity for Mary and Lisa to be on the same episode, as most of the GWIC podcasts are with one of them interviewing ethics and compliance leaders.
We got exceptional insights from this community, and Lisa and Mary thought it would be the perfect way to end the 2019 podcasts. Not only did Great Women in Compliance’s first full year brought lots of great discussions on the podcast, it brought out constant reminders of the fantastic individuals that make up the GWIC community.
We all hope you enjoy this advice from the GWIC Community and best wishes to you and yours in 2020. Join the Great Women in Compliance community on LinkedIn here.
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 about the Ericsson FCPA enforcement action from the internal controls perspective.
Some of the highlights include:
- What does this enforcement action tell up about internal controls?
- How were the business units able to evade internal controls for so long?
- Was there control override?
- What is the role of ERP systems such as Oracle and SAP in compliance?
- If a company refuses to use standard ERP systems, is that a control failure under the FCPA?
- What are the lessons learned for a corporate compliance program?
- What does all this mean for compliance professionals going forward?
