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. In this episode, Matt Kelly (the coolest guy in compliance) and I take a deep dive into resignation of now former Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan. We use his departure as a starting point to discuss some of the issues which continue to bedevil the organization some three years after the original fraudulent accounts scandal broke.
Some of the highlights include:
- Another tough Congressional hearing, another Wells Fargo CEO resigns.
- Why can’t Wells Fargo turn around its culture?
- Should an outsider (IE., non-long term Wells Fargo employee be brought in to right the ship?
- What is the difference in high-performing and high-pressure organizations?
- Why does Wells Fargo continue to resist whistleblower retaliation claims?
- Does Wells Fargo treat its customers as it treats its employees?
- What draconian sanctions are the OCC and Fed considering?
- What can Wells Fargo do to actually change its culture?
