Great Structures Week V: The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Failure and Preventing Failure in Your Compliance Program

Welcome to the Greetings and Felicitations, a podcast where I explore topics that might not seem directly related to compliance but influence our profession. In this special series, I consider many structural engineering concepts are apt descriptors for an anti-corruption compliance program. In this concluding episode 5, I consider the Tacoma Narrows Bridge failure and preventing failure in your compliance program. Highlights include:

  • Why and how did the Tacoma Narrows Bridge fail?
  • What are the key lessons it provides to compliance professionals?
  • Why are 3rd parties still the greatest risk to any compliance program?
  • What steps can you take to manage third parties most effectively?
  • Why is continuous monitoring key to managing risk?

October and November in Compliance Week

Welcome to From the Editor’s Desk, a podcast where co-hosts Tom Fox and Kyle Brasseur, EIC at Compliance Week, unpack some of the top stories which have appeared in Compliance Week over the past month, look at top compliance stories upcoming for the next month, talk some sports and generally try to solve the world’s problems.

In this month’s episode, we look back at top stories in CW from October around the Lafarge criminal action, the former Uber CISO convicted criminally for attempting to hide a data breach, and the agreement between Google and the DOJ for the company to create a position of a legal compliance monitor. We previewed some of the stories CW will look at in November, including the current state of SEC rulemaking, and Kyle teased out some findings from the CW ‘Inside the Mind of the CCO’ survey, which recently concluded.

We conclude with a look at some of the top sports stories, including a look at a Red Sox fan’s view of the 2022 World Series, ask about a quarterback controversy in New England and overreact to the first week of the NBA season.
