Episode 82, the Welcome to July edition


Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance. Today, we have a quartet of Matt Kelly, Jay Rosen, Tom Fox and special guest panelist Lisa Fine for a deep dive into a potpourri of issues and topics for the month of July. We end with a veritable mélange of rants and shouts outs.

  1. Jay Rosen looks at the latest MLB scandal and compares it to the GOP Congress rejecting an investigation into the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol. Rosen shouts out to first responders.
  2. Tom Fox sits in this week to discuss the US Department of Treasury’s priorities around AML, fraud, corruption and cybercrime. Fox shouts out to the recently indicted Trump Organization for its Document Document Document policy which led to said indictment.
  3. Lisa Fine sits in as a special guest panelist. Fine considers RTW from the compliance perspective. Fine takes this opportunity to both shout out and rant. She rants about the rampant overuse of the term ‘thought leader’. Fine shouts out to employees and others who speak up, raise valid issues and World Whistleblower Day.
  4. Matt Kelly considers the Amec Foster Wheeler FCPA enforcement action. Kelly shouts out to proposed legislation in Congress to protect Inspector Generals.
