2 Gurus Talk Compliance: Episode 28 — CZ v. SBF Edition

What happens when two top compliance commentators get together? They talk about compliance, of course. Join Tom Fox and Kristy Grant-Hart in 2 Gurus Talk Compliance as they discuss the latest compliance issues in this week’s episode!

In this episode, Tom and Kristy take on a wide variety of compliance related topics.

One of the key issues they look at are reports suggesting China is strategically relocating forced labor from the Uyghur region to different parts of the country in an attempt to bypass US laws prohibiting goods sourced from areas associated with forced labor.

This could trigger wider limitations on goods originating from China, stressing the necessity for intensive audits and transparency in business operations. This issue has sparked bipartisan concern, hinting at potential upcoming legal actions.

Tom stresses the need for companies to react effectively to reduce risks, possibly through on-the-ground audits and increased accountability in business operations in China. Kristy underscores the need for thorough audits and proactive measures in response to the risks associated with forced labor in China. She raises the possibility of legal consequences for companies found to be misleading about their involvement with forced labor. Both perspectives serve to underline the gravity and complexity of this issue.

Highlights Include:

  • An ex-McKinsey partner says he was scapegoated. (Reuters)
  • CFTC names its first AI Chief. (WSJ)
  • CZ gets 4 months. (WSJ)
  • FCPA violator Ericsson bemoans ‘over-regulation’.  (FT)
  • Corporate investigations are under scrutiny.   (FT)
  • China Moving Forced Laborers Amid U.S. Crackdown, Biden Official Says (WSJ)
  • Robinhood Crypto gets Wells notice from US SEC (Reuters)
  • Report Spotlights Privacy Access Requests (Radical Compliance)
  • Why Employee Bonuses Do Not Work (and What to Do Instead) (Inc.)
  • A Florida man runs to the police for help after committing a crime and ends up behind bars. (Aol.)

2 Gurus Talk Compliance: Episode 27 – The Too Nice Edition

What happens when two top compliance commentators get together? They talk about compliance, of course. Join Tom Fox and Kristy Grant-Hart in 2 Gurus Talk Compliance as they discuss the latest compliance issues in this week’s episode!

In this episode, we discuss how far the US should push Europe when it comes to banning goods produced with forced labor, whether Canadians are just too darn nice when it comes to bribery, the Supreme Court’s review of when cash given to a US politician crosses from a thank-you gift to a bribe, and a Florida man’s notice to arresting officers that he’d be drinking his beer before being arrested because it’s cold.

The issue of forced labor, particularly in China, and its resultant goods has triggered a significant discourse between the US and Europe, highlighting the intricate connection between international trade and human rights. Tom argues for Europe to adopt stringent measures against forced labor like the US and credits his stand to his profound understanding of the extensive impact such a practice has on modern society. He advocates for a broad ban on goods linked to forced labor and is enthusiastic about the potential of a joint EU, US, and UK task force addressing the issue.

Kristy, with her focused view on the contrasting approaches of the US and Europe, agrees with the necessity of a robust response. She acknowledges the US’s advanced position in tackling forced labor challenges, appreciates the EU’s efforts to enact a similar ban, and supports the idea of a joint task force. She underlines the importance of preventing goods made from forced labor from entering the US via Europe.

 Highlights Include:

  • The fight against climate change reporting. (Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance)
  • Are Canadians too nice to fight ABC? (GAB)
  • What is the opposite of right for compliance? (COI Blog)
  • Between a rock and a hard place. (China Law Blog)
  • Are you shadow trading? (NYU Corporate and Enforcement Blog)
  • Europe Should Be Pushed to Take On Chinese Forced Labor, U.S. Lawmakers Say (WSJ)
  • Corruption or Just Politics? Supreme Court Weighs New Bribery Case as More Clashes Are Brewing (WSJ)
  • The Department of Justice Unveils Groundbreaking Pilot Program: Incentivizing Whistleblowers with Immunity (JDSUPRA)
  • From Gen Z to boomers: How to give critical feedback at work (Washington Post)
  • Florida man pops open beer during police encounter because it was ‘cold’ and he wanted to drink it (FOX 35 Orlando)
