Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
At the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, we believe in the value of speaking up whilst acknowledging that it often isn’t easy to do so. No one personifies this more than heroic whistleblowers such as today’s guest, Erika Cheung. Erika was one of the Theranos whistleblowers and is featured as our second speaker in this two-part series on whistleblowing.
Erika tells her story of what it was like starting at Theranos as a new graduate from university and details the experiences that led to her blowing the whistle on practices at the company thought of at the time as a unicorn and the next big thing.
We get to hear about what Erika is working on now as one of us – a new member of the Compliance community and her tips for startups seeking to embed a culture of integrity in their business. We also hear about the personal toll the experience has had on Erika in addition to her successes moving on from the now disgraced company.
Mary often likes to end episodes with a little nugget of information or advice and this episode we maximize the star power already brought to the episode with Erika and feature one of the greatest feminist influencers of Mary’s childhood outside of family – some commentary from Ann. M Martin, author of The Baby-sitters Club books, given especially for the GWIC podcast.

Gaps in Compliance
Welcome to the latest edition to the Compliance Podcast Network, The Wirecard Saga. In this series, I am joined by Mikhail Reider-Gordon, Managing Director of Institutional Ethics & Integrity at Affiliated Monitors. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the gaps in compliance in not simply Wirecard but in those entities which facilitated Wirecard or did business with Wirecard.
Some of the highlights include:
- Hufeld Heaved Aside
- BaFin Day Traders
- Fact Finding Scheutz
- Top Officer Lobbies
- Nobody Knows Us
- Bavarian State Officials
- Guttenberg Resurfaces
- Augustus Intelligence
- BKLA Holds AML Chat
- Cash On the Move
- Supervision Totally Inadequate
- Banking Firtash
- Corporatocracy
Cybersecurity is at the top of most organizations’ list of critical risks and is often cited by C-suite executives and Board Members as their gravest concern. Threats that are this complex and amorphous require strong partnerships including the inside of the organization. At first glance, cybersecurity and internal audit would seem to have very little in common or little need to interact with one another. Indeed, that is probably still the case in many organizations. Our guests today however have taken a different approach.
Join us each week as we take a deep dive into the various forms of fraud across the world and discuss crime families, penny stock boiler rooms, international money launderers, narco-traffickers, oligarchs, dictators, warlords, kleptocrats and more.
Scott Moritz is a leading authority on white-collar crime, anti-corruption, and in the evaluation, design, remediation, implementation, and administration of corporate compliance programs, codes of conduct.

GameStop and Compliance
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. Today we consider the GameStop matter through the lens of the compliance profession. Some of the issues we consider are:
- What is the background?
- What are the compliance implications of this matter?
- Is this a black swan event or just ‘business as usual?
- Short sellers in the bulls-eye?
- The role of the regulators?
- Who are Robinhood’s stakeholders?
- What is the more relevant precedent; Long Term Capital or the Panic of 1907?
- What is the role (or responsibility) of social media?
