Mikhail Reider-Gordon on Conflicts of Interest

In this episode of the FCPA Compliance Report, I am joined by Mikhail Reider-Gordon, Managing Director at Affiliated Monitors, Inc. We discuss conflicts of interest with some very high-profile examples torn literally from the headlines. Highlights include:

·      What exactly is a Conflict of Interest and how does it differ from self-dealing, nepotism?

·      Is a COI purely an ethical problem or are there are situations where COIs are illegal?

·      COIs in the news of late and in some surprising places?

·      Have there been other examples across industries?

·      The Courts, the Fed, SCOTUS?

·      Do you ever come across COIs in your work?
