From The Editor’s Desk – January and February 2024 in Compliance Week

Welcome to From the Editor’s Desk, a podcast where co-hosts Tom Fox and Kyle Brasseur, EIC at Compliance Week, unpack some of the top stories that have appeared in Compliance Week over the past month, look at the top compliance stories upcoming for the next month, talk about some sports and generally try to solve the world’s problems.

Tom Fox and Kyle Brasseur are back. In this episode, they look at the Department of Justice’s role in shaping corporate compliance practices through its enforcement actions, setting the tone for companies to voluntarily self-disclose and cooperate. Tom believes that the DOJ is making a concerted effort to highlight what companies are doing right in enforcement actions, particularly in relation to remedial efforts and cooperation. He sees the DOJ’s settlement documents as a clear communication of what they expect from companies going forward. Kyle emphasizes the importance of focusing on the positive aspects of enforcement actions and learning from what companies are doing right to prevent similar situations in the future. He mentions the use of data analytics and the retention of off-channel communications as examples of new expectations from the DOJ. Join Tom Fox and Kyle Brasseur on this episode of From the Editor’s Desk as they delve deeper into the topic of DOJ enforcement actions and corporate compliance practices.

Highlights Include:

  • SAP Enforcement Action
  • CNIL and Amazon’s Excessive Employee Surveillance Violation
  • Exploring Best Practices in Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering Compliance
  • Highlighting Compliance Success in Financial Services
  • Insights from DOJ Enforcement Actions Roundtable
  • Bill Belichick
  • NFL Playoffs
