Compliance Into the Weeds

Boaty McBoat, Risk and Compliance


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 into the recent grounding of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal, which has now been floated free. What does it mean from the risk management and compliance perspective? Some of the issues we consider are:

  • What were the controls in place to stop this failure?
  • What changed which rendered these controls ineffective and even obsolete?
  • What is your risk program around supply chain disruption?
  • Was this a Black Swan event?
  • What does this mean for compliance officers?

The Compliance Handbook

Third Parties with Kristy Grant Hart


Third parties are still perceived as the most prominent high risk for companies. Other than bribery and corruption — modern slavery/human trafficking, data privacy, information and cybersecurity, anti-money laundering, and other areas are requiring third-party integrated risk assessment and planning. Compliance and data privacy law thought leader Kristy Grant-Hart, CEO of Spark Compliance Consulting, offers an innovative approach and inspiring perspective in this conversation.
Major takeaways discussed in the episode:

  • Bribery and Corruption: This remains the most significant problem since the general business population’s perception that what a third party does on your behalf isn’t your problem. Because some countries have laws like that, this built the sensibility that “if I didn’t do it, then it doesn’t matter.”
  • Due Diligence Integration: Every company is different; however, it is crucial to apply a comprehensive and consistent approach to conducting due diligence in all categories in appointing and maintaining relationships with third parties.
  • Scoping: By defining the degree of risk to be reviewed and identifying the highest probable risk scenario, this will be based on the quantitative things that we know, like the CPI score, like the Trafficking in-person report. That’s where you try to start so that you’re looking at the right risk with the right tools.
  • Digital Assets: Many parts of the business are not working together to have that third-party onboarding. The problem is that they don’t want to work together necessarily. Using various technology-enabled solutions for your clients will enable you to clearly and effectively see across the entire risk spectrum.

The “Nuts and Bolts” for Creating a Comprehensive Compliance Plan 
The first chapter of this unique work lays out a succinct yet thorough 31-day approach to operationalizing a company’s compliance regimen. Beginning with a section on what 2020 brought to the compliance landscape, the chapter methodically outlines best practices for everything from establishing policies, procedures, and internal controls, to assessing risk, training, handling investigations, and more. Each day ends with three key takeaways you can implement at little or no cost.
Understanding Compliance Responsibility Across the Organization
The Compliance Handbook also takes a close look at all professionals’ roles with compliance responsibility, from Compliance Officers and Boards of Directors to Human Resources, to Internal Audit and Internal Controls and Communications and Training professionals.
In-Depth Treatment of Hot Topics and Trends
The Handbook provides an in-depth look at the latest thinking and trends for the full range of critical compliance topics, including:
• Compliance and business ventures
• Third-party risk management
• The Board’s Role in Compliance
• Continuous improvement
• Compliance innovation
• And much more
