Wow…100 episodes!  It seems like yesterday and eons ago at the same time that we talked about starting the GWIC podcast.  A little over 2 years and at episode 100 it seemed like a great time to reflect on where we started and the amazing community that has grown around the GWIC community.
In this episode, Mary and Lisa share some listener feedback about what has resonated with them, what they have learned, and some wonderful memories about past discussions.  They also give out some “GWICies,” which are recognition of some different organizations, people and work in the E&C community and also a “thank you” to many who help them put together the episodes and keep the podcast and the community evolving.
GWIC will be taking a spring hiatus, but we are excited to be back on April 21st with new episodes.  And, thank YOU for making the Great Women in Compliance podcast what it has become today.

Compliance Into the Weeds

Boaty McBoat, Risk 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. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into the recent grounding of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal, which has now been floated free. What does it mean from the risk management and compliance perspective? Some of the issues we consider are:

  • What were the controls in place to stop this failure?
  • What changed which rendered these controls ineffective and even obsolete?
  • What is your risk program around supply chain disruption?
  • Was this a Black Swan event?
  • What does this mean for compliance officers?
