Everything Compliance-Episode 10, first 100 day of the Trump Administration

This episode is dedicated to the chaotic (at best) first 100 days of the Trump administration related to compliance.

  1. Jonathan Armstrong leads a discussion of the Trump administration’s devolution of Privacy Shield, GDPR, and what they mean for American companies doing business in the UK and EU. He discusses the key differences in the DOJ’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs in an FCPA analysis and under the Bribery Act, differences in the EU approach to conflict minerals, and under the Trump Administration, and concludes by giving us his thoughts on what Brexit means for compliance.
