Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this special episode, I am joined by Eric Young from Guidepost Solutions. Young has worked at prestigious institutions like JPMorgan, General Electric, S&P Global Ratings, and BNP Paribas. He shares his expertise to empower employees looking to move ahead with processes, find solutions, and navigate compliance issues.
Tom and Eric talk about the highlights of the Monaco Memo, updates on the Corporate Enforcement Policy, a case study from ABB to showcase the role of the CCO, and how firms should interpret Department of Justice speeches. He further dives into the corporate culture, accountability, and role of the CCO within an organization. Finally, Eric sheds light on a case from McDonald’s involving the former CEO and their decision to claw back compensation. The discussion concluded with acknowledging the Delaware court’s holding that elevates the CCO’s corporate duties.
