I have always striven to provide my readers and listeners with the most up-to-date information on what goes into a best practices compliance program. To that end, beginning January 1, and for the next 31 days, I will be exploring the best way to more fully operationalize a compliance program using these resources. The podcast series will provide the compliance practitioner with a thorough grounding in the key aspects of a best practices compliance program based on the latest information from the regulators. Each day I will highlight a new topic based upon the information we learned on compliance programs in 2021. If you are starting out to design, create and implement a best practices compliance program, this series will give you the basics. If you are looking for the most current thinking on how to enhance your compliance program, this series will also benefit you as well.
I hope you will join me as we engage in 31 days to a more effective compliance program. It will be available on the FCPA Compliance Report, iTunes, YouTube and JDSupra.

Year End Review, Part 2
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. On Tuesday, Matt and Tom began a special two-part year-end review of six topics which they saw as significant in 2021 and believe will be so into 2022 as well. They looked at SPACs, the Robinhood/GameStop phenomena and the new hybrid working environment and what is means for the compliance professional. Today in Part 2 we consider the Biden Administration’s Strategy on Countering Corruption, in conjunction with DAG Lisa Monaco’s speech on the refocus of the Department of Justice on FCPA enforcement and other white collar prosecutions, the continuing evolution of ransomware attacks and ESG in 2021 and beyond.

The Compliance Life details the journey to and in the role of a Chief Compliance Officer. How does one come to sit in the CCO chair? What are some of the skills a CCO needs to success navigate the compliance waters in any company? What are some of the top challenges CCOs have faced and how did they meet them? These questions and many others will be explored in this new podcast series. Over four episodes each month on The Compliance Life, I visit with one current or former CCO to explore their journey to the CCO chair. This month, we have our first Director of Trade Compliance, Matt Silverman, Director of Trade Compliance at VIAVI. We discuss Matt’s journey to the Director’s chair and look down the road at where trade compliance will be in 2025 and beyond.
In this concluding episode, Silverman looks at the role and function of trade compliance in 2025 and beyond. He notes that currently at many organizations still falls under the logistics or supply chain function but down the road he believes it will be an integral role in every legal/compliance department with much more high-level visibility in the C-Suite, and trade compliance becoming a bigger factor in risk management considerations.
He also feels that Trade Compliance Directors will likely need significant experience and a legal background, particularly given the trend toward greater enforcement actions taken by DOJ and OFAC. We concluded with some of Silverman’s thoughts on the intersection of ESG with trade compliance. As ESG gains more popularity and attention in the C-Suite, trade compliance will become more important and one of its roles will be in fulfilling ESG initiatives.
