Today we begin a special holiday podcast series on compliance lessons from Venice. In Part 1, we are doing compliance in the old-fashioned way.

The importance of compliance departments and the simplicity of compliance programs cannot be overstated. These elements are vital in maintaining ethical standards within an organization. An effective compliance program must have a compliance department that is adequately staffed with professionals who can handle the day-to-day compliance work. He argues that these departments should not only have the necessary headcount but also the expertise to answer questions and provide guidance to company personnel. Fox also underscores the significance of basic methods in compliance programs, likening them to the simple yet effective block-and-tackle pulley system used in Venice. Join Tom Fox as he delves deeper into this topic in the Compliance Lessons from Venice podcast episode.
