Matt and Lisa discuss the continuing influence of #MeToo, and how this has impacted organizations and how it relates to the social justice movements and Black Lives Matter. They also talk about how the influence of social media and how it is used as a tool to raise and publicize concerns, and how this impacts corporate culture, investigations and compliance functions.
Matt also writes about retaliation – both for reporters, and as an issue for compliance professionals. He also gives his view of things of what someone should do in their 20s in their careers, and we won’t spoil that for you!

Compliance Into the Weeds

The J&F FCPA Enforcement Action


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 and Tom go into the weeds to look at the recent FCPA enforcement action involving the Brazilian megalith, J&F Investments. Some of the issues we consider are:

  • It was one of the most bold, audacious bribery schemes ever.
  • Follow on from Brazil’s largest anti-corruption enforcement action, JBS.
  • What happens when an acquirer of a US listed company is the corrupt entity?
  • Is a target required to perform due diligence on the source of the money used in a M&A deal?
  • Did Pilgrim’s Pride have any responsibility?
  • Are there any US individuals involved?
  • Is Pilgrim’s Pride a victim, entitled to compensation?
