Andrea Falcione, Part 1-Documentation: Codes of Conduct


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
The Code of Conduct is kind of a big deal in any Compliance program. It has been referred to as the cornerstone of a Compliance program and for that reason, it’s important to get it right.  Well that’s easier said than done when you’re trying to appeal to literally every employee and external stakeholder you have. So we enlisted in some expert help. Andrea Falcione of Rethink Compliance joins us for this two-part series which starts off taking a hard look at re-vamping Codes of Conduct (we assume you’ve already got one in place and aren’t starting from scratch) and the second installment takes a deep dive into Compliance policies.
In the Code episode we canvass considerations from the outset to get your approach right, discuss frequency of re-vamps, how codes have evolved and what marks a modern code in amongst several other nitty gritty points. Yes folks, it’s a packed episode you won’t want to miss.
Have you heard that Lisa and Mary have published a book? Yes, you can get your very own copy of “Sending the Elevator Back Down: What We’ve Learned From Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020) on Amazon right now! Enjoyed your copy? Don’t forget to leave a review!

Compliance Into the Weeds

The Goldman Sachs 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 US banking and finance entity Goldman Sachs. Some of the issues we consider are:

  • One of the most bold, audacious bribery schemes ever.
  • Complete total and utter failure of compliance? Or something worse?
  • Blatant assistance in money-laundering.
  • How watches the watchers?
  • Has Goldman really done anything different?
  • Largest FCPA fine ever.
