Welcome to a revamped Everything Compliance. We have a new host, Adam Turteltaub, and a new panelist, Rebecca Walker, who joins returning regulars Matt Kelly, Jonathan Armstrong, and Karen Moore for the next iteration of Everything Compliance.
- Matt Kelly highlights OFAC’s $1.05M settlement with FTI Consulting for indirectly providing services to sanctioned VTB Bank via a law firm payment conduit and creating a prohibited extension of debt when invoices went unpaid, emphasizing OFAC’s message that indirect dealings are treated like direct ones.
- Karen Moore reviews the NFL Rooney Rule’s intent and criticism; the Brian Flores discrimination lawsuit, which is moving forward in open court after the Supreme Court declined to compel arbitration; and Florida’s attorney general’s subpoena challenging the rule under state civil rights law, alongside trends in discrimination charges and potential changes to EEO-1 data reporting.
- Rebecca Walker shares NAVEX 2026 survey findings linking leadership “say vs. do” gaps to higher violations.
- Jonathan Armstrong covers an Italian Garante fine (€190,000) against ITA Airways for overly broad digital forensics and GDPR process failures, underscoring the importance of scoping, vendor management, and documentation.
