Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley. At the Great Women in Compliance podcast, we strive to find a variety of different voices, view points and vantage points to canvas a large number of perspectives from various practitioners of Compliance across the globe. For this week’s episode, we’ve invited Sofia Tirini who works at the OECD in Paris.
Sofia shares some of her experiences, including the educational background she pursued in Compliance and how she got into her line of work. Sofia also shares some tips for listeners who would also be interested in a stint with the OECD themselves.
One of Sofia’s interest areas is in the role of youth in the fight against corruption. Tune in to this episode to hear about this angle.
The OECD is a great organization to follow for anti-corruption and integrity resources – Mary in particular recommends looking out for their studies which can provide useful hard data – check out their website here: https://www.oecd.org/corruption-integrity/

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive the recent move by Delta Airlines to require employees who refuse to be vaccinated to pay a special health care insurance surcharge of $200 to cover the increased health care costs associated with unvaccinated employees who contract Covid-19.
Some of the issues we consider are:
· What were the underlying facts?
· How did Delta Airline’s actions follow a risk management protocol?
· How did Delta’s actions demonstrate a commitment to compliance?
· How about the data?
· How about Document Document Document?
