Navigating an Increasingly Complex Sanctions Landscape: What Happens if You Have a Sanctions Violation

Welcome to the podcast series: In Conversation with K2 Intelligence FIN: Navigating an Increasingly Complex Sanctions Landscape. This series is sponsored by K2 Intelligence FIN. This week I will visit with  Adam Frey, Managing Director at Intelligence FIN and Eric Lorber, Vice President at Intelligence FIN.

Over the week, we will review the current sanctions landscape, discuss how to build a sanctions compliance program, walk listeners through what happens when you discover a sanctions breach or potential breach, consider new sanctions exposure and conclude with a look in that veiled land of the future by considering issues on the horizon. In this Episode 3, I am joined by Eric Lorber On what to do if you have a sanctions violation or think you may have violated a sanctions program.

Frey concluded by stating, “these are the types of sort proactive steps that I think OFAC and the regulatory authorities would really like to see. It is signaling is we are taking this seriously. It’s very much a sort of a signal that we are on your side enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities.”
Join us tomorrow where I am joined again by Eric Lorber to consider new sanction risk exposures for commercial corporations and in the shipping space.

Sherry Williams – Black Lives Matter and Ethics and Compliance


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
There is no question that 2020 has had challenges that were unprecedented.  However, the issues that are at the foundation of the Black Lives Matter movement have existed for a long time, and this is a moment where all of us can reflect on our world and also on our profession.
Sherry Williams is a distinguished leader in ethics and compliance, and her most recent role was at Jabil as the Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Global Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer.  Before that, she was also the Chief Compliance Officer at Halliburton.
Sherry graciously agreed to speak with Lisa Fine about the current situation in the US from her perspective – as a Black woman who has worked at the most senior levels of large organizations.  She started at a major law firm and speaks about her personal experiences and learnings over the years – from challenging norms to addressing microaggressions.
Sherry is also a mother and talks about how this moment has impacted her in that role, and how different generations perceive and address societal issues.  She also talks about the unique role that compliance officers have, and how we can use our work to address inequity and inequalities.
This is first episode which has a specific focus on race in the U.S., but the Great Women in Compliance podcast is committed to be a part of this discussion and learning from different voices in the ethics and compliance world on these critically important issues.
