Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance as we celebrate our second century of shows. In 2021, Everything Compliance was honored by W3 as a top talk show in podcasting. In this episode, we have the quintet of Jonathan Marks, Karen Woody, Jonathan Armstrong, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly. In this episode, we take up the Glencore FCPA settlement. We conclude with our fan favorite Shout Outs and Rants.
1. Karen Woody takes a deep dive into the history of Glencore, from its founding by Marc Rich in the 1980s through the allegations of bribery, corruption and market manipulation which led to the FCPA and CFTC settlements. Woody shouts out the US National and state parks systems which provide much needed green spaces for Americans.
2. Matt Kelly takes a deep dive into CCO certification issue and what it might mean for individual CCO criminal liability going forward. Kelly has a dual shout out and rant. He shouts out to the Boston Celtics for having the greatest NBA Finals-Game 1 comeback to win the game. He rants about the DOJ failing to post the speech by AAG Kenneth Polite where he announced the new requirement for CCO certification.
3. Jonathan Marks explores the role of internal audit in contributing to the compliance failures and what IA can do to facilitate a culture change at the company. Marks also has a dual shout out and rant. He shouts out to the Philadelphia Phillies for firing manager Joe Girardi and rants about Glencore’s Press Release about their updated compliance which he rants “says nothing”.
4. Tom Fox considers the dual monitor aspect of the resolution and the requirements of the monitorships. Fox reads out the names of the students and teachers who were killed in the recent massacre in Uvalde, TX.
5. Jonathan Armstrong explores the settlement from the UK perspective and considers, what if any charges against individuals that the UK-Serious Fraud Office might bring. Armstrong shouts out to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and Sir Andy Murray for speaking out against the murder of school children. Murray is a survivor of a similar event in Scotland.
