Episode 109, The New Year’s Edition

Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance as we celebrate our second century of shows. Everything Compliance has been honored by W3 as the top talk show in podcasting. In this episode, we have the quintet of Jay Rosen, Jonathan Armstrong, Jonathan Marks, Tom Fox, and Matt Kelly, all discussing issues they are looking at as we begin 2023. We conclude with our fan-fav Shout Outs and Rants section.

  1. Matt Kelly looks at some of the ESG issues he will be following in 2023, including SEC rules around ESG, potential audit requirements, who will hold this function internally, and the new role of the ESG Controller. He rants about Zulily and its SOX compliance failures which allowed an employee to embezzle over $300,000.

2. Jonathan Marks looks at corporate governance issues in 2023, including board structure and guidance, recent Board failures, and Board oversight and monitoring. He shouts out to the NFL to cancelling the game between the Bengals and Bills.

3. Tom Fox shouts out to the 50th anniversary of School House Rock and lists his top five.

4. Jonathan Armstrong gives us a preview of 5 key issues he is following for 2023: ESG, GDPR fines, ransomware, supply chain risk issues, and crypto scams. He rants about the mistreatment of Prince Harry’s dog and asks if the dog was traumatized when Prince William knocked his brother (Prince Harry) down and broke the dog’s food bowl.

5. Jay Rosen reviews acronyms that drive him crazy. He shouts out to EMS personnel in Cincinnati for training and being prepared when Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during the Bills game and saved his life.
